Default Alignment Spec Advice

Can anyone give me some advice toward some alignment settings with my new suspension?

Putting on 225/45, 255/40 ZIIs on 17x8.5/9.5 rims. Running Spoon Full Spec dampers with 14k/12k spring rates. OEM '07 sways.

Thanks!

As long as the offset isnt too extreme .....
I personally like more camber in front vs the rear for handling (front end grip)
Max the front camber and will end up probably around -2.5 to -2.8 with 0 toe with caster set between 5.5 and 6.5 (usually saying "max caster" will get you about there)
I always tell them to get the rear .5 degrees more(i.e if the front gets -2.8, set the back to -2.3) and get the rear toe in to about 1/16(very minimal rear toe improves straight line stability)

Thanks, will the car be prone to snap oversteer due to the higher front camber rates? This is my first experience with this stuff of suspension so I'm not sure what to expect.

Also, how noticeable will 2.8 degrees of camber be. I do daily my car and I'd like to minimize camber wear where possible.
