Alignment settings
I know there are tons of threads on this but I am looking to re-align for 2 reasons:
1) I need more stability going 70mph around a bend in the highway. It seems the tail is going to slip out when I get going too fast.
2) The car follows the crown in the road too much and I am constantly correcting with the steering wheel.
I don't mind a little extra tire wear if I need to change settings.
This is my current alignment specs:
FRONT LEFT RIGHT
Camber - 46deg -53deg
Caster 6.02deg 6.05deg
Toe 0 inches .01 inches
Cross Camber .07deg
Cross caster -.03deg
Total Toe .01inches
Set Back -.09deg
REAR LEFT RIGHT
Camber -1.48deg -1.41deg
Toe .11inch .13inches
Toe Angle .25inches
Thrust Angle -.02deg
What should I have the new alignment set at?

I'm no alignment expert, but here goes anyway:
What model year S2000 do you have?
Your current settings look pretty decent to achieve what you're after.
You could go with more negative camber, both front and rear for a more performance-oriented alignment (more grip, more tire wear); the Honda UK recommended settings are -1.0 degree caster front, -2.0 rear.
For your tramlining problem, zero toe and high caster in the front is good, which you already have. Tire pressure seems to be the biggest factor, though, so try going a pound or two higher if you're near 32psi cold now.
