Default Alignment Settings

Today I'm going to get my car aligned. The setup will be mostly for spirited driving and some auto x. As for tire wear, not too concerned as long as I get 7-8k miles from the rears. I'm currently running KWV3's OEM sized tires ala AP2 (17" 215 front 245 rear) and a saner bar middle setting. My set up thoughts are the following:
Front
Toe: 1/16" out
Camber: -1 to -1.25
Caster: Max 6-6.5
Rear
Toe: 1/8" in
Camber: -2 to -2.25

Thoughts opinions? Am I over looking something? Thanks

that is a decent starting point, but personally i would run more front camber, max it out if possible.

Maximize front and rear camber.
Toe settings, those are total, not per side, right? Should be fine.
Personally I go with zero toe in front.
