Track Alignment
I'm shooting for a more track friendly alignment, but car will still be mostly street driven. I'm thinking -2.5 front and rear camber, 0 toe up front and 4mm toe-in rear. One notch more stiff on rear bar. Car will be on cup2s, and I have 20 years of track and racing experience.
Sound about right?

I wanted a mid point set up for track and street. well known shop in my area set it up as follows:
-2.3 front camber
-2.0 rear camber
1/32" total toe IN front
3/16" total toe IN rear
i'm running in advanced groups with open passing. respectable lap times. did 5 track days last year with this set up on stock MPSC2s. Overall tire wear was good. Tires heat cycled out before the tread was gone. I've seen guys on this forum running more aggressive camber. I often wonder if my set up is optimal but don't feel like chasing set up all season. Overall turn in was good, turn exit hook up was good, stable at high speed. Looking forward to other's comments.

I strongly advise against 0 toe in the front. 0 toe will make the car want to wander down the road. Toe out will make the car very darty and turn quickly, toe in will make the car enjoyable to drive.
Sarum's specs look like a good compromise to me.
