After I replaced all rear bushings I did wheel alignment.
I've got adjusted:
FRONT
Toe-in (adjusting wheels right-left) 00.00 00.00
Camber -00.16 (left) +00.07 (right)
REAR
Toe-in +00.18 (left) +00.20 (right)
Camber -00.84 (left) -00.31 (right)
Is it ok?
I don't like front camber, but they said it's ok (00.00 +/- 00.50)
What wheel alignment is better for handling?

negative camber is when wheels are /---\ ?
what will happen with tire wear? will it be worse?

Yes. The inside will wear more. Yes.

if you like to take turns a little racey sometimes, then negative camber will be fine and your tires should wear evenly. a lot of tires are designed with negative camber in mind and really dont wear unevenly with negative camber, especially with low setting like a degree.

usually, for me, the front camber is about .25 more positive than the rear
i could be wrong, but shouldnt your front toe be a little inward and not the rear?
i have all my specs somewhere ill find them and post them...i have everything for aggressive driving, but still no uneven wear after a year

there are a bunch of ways to add negative camber.
1. eccentrics replacing the regular strut bolts. these are the camber kits you see everywhere. you can put them in the top or bottom holes of the strut bottom mount, or even one in each for even more adjustability.
2. camber plates. these are found on the tops of struts like the ones in ksport coilovers.
3. take a dremel and widen out the bottom mount bolt holes a little so you can slide the top of the wheel inward a bit.
