Best alignment spec with Damptronic?

I installed Bilstein Damptronic coilovers last weekend.
Really love the look and handling.
Anyway, it is time for good alignment.
What is the best alignment setup with Damptronic coilovers?
What about the height if I have GT3 front bumper?
FYI, it's all stock other than coilovers.

track or street?
I can tell you that I have a track alignment and my street tires are wearing much better than the stock alignment. Remember it's not so much the negitive camber that wears tires it is the amount of toe.
I run zero toe up front and no more than .16 degrees of toe in the rear....anything from .12-.16 degrees in the rear is where you want to be at.

Sounds like you already have the right alignment if you love the handling already. If you run a search on my RonCT name and Damptronics you will find threads about when I put Damptronics on my 07 C2S (and then took them off later). I also remember posting ride height, which will be different for you with the GT3 front - when I had a GT3 it scraped everywhere, so I ended up not driving it on the street. So you may want to go with a relatively high ride height unless you have perfect roads around you and no driveway / parking lot entry issues.

Ok, so you are on street tires then I take it. If you want a sportier feeling car but have good street manners I suggest you talk with some places around the country like GMG, Champion and so forth and see what they suggest.
Also you should have your car corner balanced to adjust the ride height.
As someone that was once in your shoes I suggest
FRONT
-1.3 degrees camber each side
.02 degrees or zero toe each side
REAR
-1.5 degrees camber each side
.14 degrees toes each side
I am running theese following specs because I go to the track around 10-15 days a year and I run R- Compound tires at the track which require more camber. I also run more camber in front for better turn in and tire wear. I have 14,000 miles on my car and my Michelin PS2 tires are not even 1/2 worn.
FRONT
-2.3 degrees camber
zero toe
REAR
-1.9 degrees camber
.14 degrees toe per side
I hope this helps.
