You want some negative camber up front so that you can turn and it wont affect your tire wear.

Look at the suspension stickied thread on this site.

Suspensions!!!

Camber Front = -1.5 to -1.75
Camber Rear = -1 to -1.25
Toe front = 1/32nd toe out I am now suggesting 0 Toe Most people won't be able to realize that the car has the toe, especially on the street.
Toe Rear = 0

EDIT by ERIC AKA bluroadster-toll booth operator- alignment specifications depend on the nature of driving. Driving on the twisties, one would want more - camber vice if one was driving on the highway all of the time where their style of driving would eat the inside of the tires.

A "race"/track day alignment is going to be even more wear but will handle better.

you seem to be the smartest one in arkansas regarding the suspension setups. I have my plans on my setup but won't give it out till it's tested.
