Default Alignment specs

I'm getting an alignment this weekend and would like to know what specs I should do. The car will be mainly for DD and some track.

Springs: Espelir ASD (Avg. Drop: Front/Rear 20mm/30mm)

Wheels: 17x7.5 +48 and 17x9 +53

Tires: 225/45/17 and 265/40/17

I would like an aggressive look and good performance.

Thanks in advance~

Do you think I can go -2.5 or -3 in the rear and -1.5 in the front?

I just had my UK alignment done yesterday on my stock suspension. I can say that my car feels much more stable and the snap over-steer is now minimized, very neutral as stated earlier. When going over bumps, the steering no longer does any surprise moments.

However, the mechanic that was aligning my car stated that he couldn't get the rear camber to -2 without affecting the toe. -1.3 was the most he could do and I agreed to let him do that. I don't think that would've been a problem if my car was lowered.

Overall, I still give it a I will definitely be going with the same alignment specs when I slap on some nice coilover.
