Question Camber Adjustments

I was wondering what to have my camber set at. I am novice to this type of thing, i've heard other members say -1 degree. My tires are wearing in the inside of tire so i need to adjust it.

Also, I bought an Eibach camber kit for the fronts. Has anyone ever used this before? Do i leave the camber kit bolts in or do i take it back out after it adjusts?

Its on a 2009 Cobalt LS with 17" aftermarket wheels. Any help would be great

Camber doesn't wear your tires as much as toe. Make sure toe is set properly. Zero toe for less wear.

This.

Also, if you install camber bolts, but a single one in the top. If you are able to adjust the camber to your desired settings without them, then don't bother.

I checked the toe today and it is at Zero toe. I am waiting for my UPS to get here with my Camber checking tool (lack of better term) it will hopefully show some results.
