alignment settigns

I need some help. I have installed GT Spec Front and rear strut bars, and a 25 mm Perin Rear Sway bar (it is set to the softest setting).

I am installing a set of Tein S-Tech springs this weekend. Then I will be off to get an alignment. I need help deciding on what setting to use for the alignment. I was thinking something like:
zero toe
2.0 camber in the front
1.5 camber in the rear

This is just a guess from reading. I really don't know what to try.

I appreciate any suggestions.

thanks,
-Doug

In a related question, my tire/alignment shop here had no idea how to adjust the camber of the Evo. They kept on saying they needed to replace the bolt with a shorter one. Any ideas on what to tell the shop on how to physically adjust the camber?

You probably will receive better answers by posting in the suspension forum, or doing a search.

ANYWAY...

Do you track/auto-cross your car? If not, I'd say:
-1+ front
-0.5+ rear
neutral toe
... is adequate. Why place unnecessary wear on the tires if 100% of the time it'll be on the street?

If you do track:
max out front (I believe -2)
-1+ rear
neutral toe

Worked wonders for my car when it was stock.
