Default Getting my alignment done this morning - want to pressure test with the group

Guys

getting my alignment done post GMG spring install

based on several searches here's what I've decided to use (100% street use, no track)

Front
Camber: -1.2/-1.2
Toe: -0.02/-0.02 (slight toe out in the front)

Rear
Camber: -1.8/-1.8
Toe: 0.14/0.14

rest of the specs will remain within oem tolerances

Final thoughts, comments and recommendations welcomed. For example is -0.02/-0.02 toe out in the front really any different than running 0.0/0.0?

thanks
Art

thanks Tom, the alignment went smoothly. here are the readings

Car lowered on gmg springs. 30 days and 200 miles later

Before Alignment
Front:
Camber: -0.9 / -1.0
Toe: -0.31 / -0.33 (lots of toe out)

Rear:
Camber: -2.3 / -2.5
Toe: 0.27 / 0.23 (lots of toe in)


After Alignment
Front:
Camber: -1.2 / -1.2
Toe: 0.1 / 0.0

Rear:
Camber: -1.8 / -1.8
Toe: 0.14 / 0.13

Car feels good, but honestly didn't notice a HUGE change in steering or handling. the specs are all within OEM guidelines except for the front camber which is a bit more aggressive

The biggest change I noticed were with the black lug bolts now on the wheels.
Looking proper (except for all the brake dust)
