I run -1.5 camber front, -2.0 camber rear...and i think its 1/16 toe in rear....I basically took the rear setup from the UK alignment, and added a little more negative front camber. I love the setup! However once I get coils, and do some tracking, I will be more aggressive in setup, probably like what 1nate7 listed. The AP2 at least seemed to handle better with at least a .5 degree camber seperation, front to rear. I had
-1.8 front, -2.0 rear, and felt the car had too much understeer. So I removed just a little bit of the front camber, and the car felt much better. Turns in and rotates very nicely.
Oh yea, caster is maxed now, I think I am down to 5.5 degrees because of the extra camber. I do miss the factory 6.5 degrees of castor, but its a price to pay for having more corner grip from the increased camber.
Hope that helps. I have a lifetime alignment from Firestone, and used it in 2 different states now, and they have been very helpful. At first they kind of moan, and tell you that you will ruin your tires, but tell them its ok, you know what you are doing. Always have the alignment place print out a before and after page. I usually have them printout the before, then hand write what I want to change on it, give it back to them. Then when they finish I have the before and after in my hand to review...that way you can make sure they actually changed you setup, and are giving you want you want.
