Default Looking for Alignment Spec Recommendation

My new Sport Cup 2's were installed today. Tomorrow I have an appointment to get an alignment. Any spec recommendations would be appreciated...or should I just stick with stock?

No track, just spirited dry weather driving. Thanks!

Running negative camber of 1.5 or above makes a big difference in handling but stock components make that impossible. You need gt3 front lower control arms or camber plates. I am running -1.9 front and -1.7 rear and love it. If you track the car then you can be much more aggressive (-2.5 or so).

It should be pointed out that running negative camber will accelerate wear on the inside of each tire. But, it will improve your cornering ability.

I'm running -1.3ish up front with lowering springs, and -1.6 rear. Even with this setup I wear the outside shoulder quicker than the inside due to track days.
