alignment issues
is it possible to get 0 chamber, toe...etc. for alignment so I don't have uneven ware on my tires?

Yes. That's probably how it comes from the factory. You should also rotate tires more frequently and always keep your tires properly inflated, check it at least every time you fill up.

you dont' want 0 camber, you want some negative camber. and some wont affect tire wear taht much. yes you can get 0 toe and caster. just take your car in for an alignment and tell them what you want. only thing is that camber in the rear is not adjustable in the rear without adding camber bolts

I was told by the shop that did my alignment that they could NOT get it to 0 all around and that they were very close to factory specs.
I also bought chamber bolts from Oakos.com so I could make sure that they could adjust my chamber in the rear.
Now After driving the car for this long I've been noticing that I'm getting uneven ware on my tires (on the inside)
I keep the tire pressure at about 42F 40R

Jon, you really need to do some research on suspension deseign and learn why what you ask is ridiculous. You really need to increase your knowlege and understanding of what you are talking about.
Factory specs are a joke from a performance standpoint.
If you want '0' tire wear, don't drive a car...that's that.

it's only for the new set that I'll be putting on my car for right now..
I'm more for the performance side but since I've got a new addition to my family money will be an issue for a while!
I understand what you're saying on if I don't want tire wear... etc. hehehe
As for other motorsports I enjoy them all it's just that I cannot afford to take care of a family and keep an aggressive alignment
