The factory specs are as follows. ( taken from highrev's post)
Camber
Front
0 º 00 '±30 '
Rear
-1 º 30 '+1 º 05 '-0 º 45 '
Caster
Front
7 º 00 '±1 º
Total toe-in
Front
0±2 mm (0±0.08 in.)
Rear
2+2-1 mm (0.08+0.08-0.04 in.)

They will cause tire wear..
i agree 100% that they are not the best But my experience with Adjustable Camber arms was highly detestable. I was very aggitated that every time i went back in to get the alignment checked (6 month warranty) it would be right back out of wack and not by a little bit but by alot. So i decided get a spring that has a very low drop rate (ct-engineering) and just keep the factory camber arms. The toe in the Front is at 0 and the rear does allow for some Toe But i am going to get that fixed very soon cause i realize it eats tires. But after the drop on the comptech springs. the back fell down at -1.12 on the left and -1.14 on the right the front fell to a -.48 on the front left and -.52 on the front right so I may go with a camber kit up front to get those back to 0 (i know a -1 would be better but i want to keep my tires) What would you all completely suggest?

Just leave it alone at those settings and get the toe 0 out on all 4 corners or would you suggest getting another brand camber arm for the rear?

Me personally i thought the car feel nicely with the negative camber and the settings have been consistant
