Your tires and springs determine how much camber you need to run, but even though you listed them it's very difficult for someone to know an exact number unless they've had your exact setup. You need to test for temperatures, visible wear, even chalk if you are really camber challenged.

At a 2 degree rear camber you would want the front to be 1.32
At 2.25 you would want 1.485 front
2.5 = 1.65
Of course you can't maintain that accuracy.
Since you are aligning you might want to get it aligned with you in the driver's seat. I did that a couple of times and found out that with me in the seat it increases the camber by .2 of a degree so now I just align the car with the driver's side .2 less than the passenger so that when I am in the car the alignment is balanced.
