You're talking low-speed cornering performance or high-speed cornering performance?

For the MacPherson strut front, you can dial in a little more camber.
I like somewhere around -1.0 degrees and -1.5 degrees on a street set-up.
Any more camber than that and you run into premature tire wear problems.

The rears have a little too much negative camber for a street set-up.
Do you have the DTSS still active?
If so, the DTSS will automatically induce premature camber wear on the inside edges due to the change in toe.
To counter this, I try and run very little camber in the rear - usually -0.5 degrees to -1.0 degrees max.
Any more camber that that just increases the wear on the inside edges of the tires.
Camber is the rears is a delicate balance, cause you're trading cornering performance (more negative camber) with acceleration performance ("0" camber) - only you can make this decision.
Are you running a rear camber adjust bar?
Some of that excessive rear camber by collapsing the rear suspension subframe - very popular in Japan and also here in the USA.

The numbers I've given are for street driving.
They balance (premature) tire wear versus performance.
You can run more aggressive settings, but your tires are going to show it on a daily driver.

Hope this helps.
