If you set the struts at maximum negative camber they will both be the same as they'll only adjust so far, unless something else is bent on the suspension.
I'd advise getting it all set up professionally unless you really know what your doing or you'll end up with uneven tyre wear and possible handling issues, don't forget that with coilovers you lose a lot of compliance in the ride and handling and its important to get it right.

I need to run mine all the way in  :wink:

If you had after market antirollbars and poly bushed then I wouldn't recommend it, also if you do a lot of motorway miles.

I must admit mine seemed to drive ok with them all the way in but it started scrubbing the inside edges of the tyres so i had to wind it out a bit.

I run somewhere between -1.6 and -1.8 degrees per side, toe out, with Koni coilovers, Eibach ARBs and Powerflex bushes and a Peloquin Diff...and get equal tyre wear.
Much of it depends on your driving style and vehicle use.

I'm guessing that diff makes a lot of difference though.
