I've not seen anything about changing that for GS.

Just have the specs set dead center like this and you will be fine.

For the best tire wear on my GS, I had the car aligned with minimum camber:

Front Camber: . .- 0.5°

Rear Camber: . . - 0.3°

Front & Rear Toe: . . As close to 0.0° as they could get it

I had my front camber set at -1 left and -1 right, toe was .02 & -.01 and I am seeing excessive inside tire wear on the passenger side tire... 30k miles so far still have 5/32" tread left in the center of the tire

I have used those specs all the time for the 7 years of ownership on my 2013 GS and my tires wear even across the thread with great handling. Never had a problem. 27k miles on the car now.

What are you doing with your car? That is what’s gonna determine what your alignments should be.

I get best tire wear at -2.2, but I wouldnt recommend that if it’s just for driving around town.
