Wheel alignment for KW V3s

Hi. I was wondering if I can get some help. I got KW V3s installed by TT a couple of weeks ago. I don't have camber plates yet. I haven't done the alignment yet either. I realized that my front tires (which were worn a bit) have almost completely worn out in the middle. I got new tires on order (same tire, S03s). I am running 245/40/18s. I was looking for some feedback on a good alignment spec for street use, that doesn't kill my tires too quickly. My Evo is my daily driver, and I put a lot of miles. Thanks.

I personally run -2.0 in front and -1.5 in back with no toe at all. It has a real nice neutral feel too it and is easy on the tire wear as long as your push in in the corners once and a while. Toe is what kills your tires alot more than camber

I assume West End has experience with EVOs? I guess it will be a question of which outfit I can schedule and get to without too much hassle during the holidays. Do you guys know if I can run -3 deg of camber without camber plates? Thanks for the feedback.

What are your spring rates? Are they custom or the standard rates?

I have the standard settings KW sends preset. I want to keep it streetable, and in SoCal that means dealing with a lot of pot holes.
