I do 3-5 track events per year and occasional autocross, but 85% of my driving is spirited street driving. I run -2.3 to -2.4 up front.
-2.3 up front Camber?
rear a tad more (-) then?
How about toe? Better going for 0?

appreciate the help @Zach L

Dedicated track cars will be -3.0 or more camber for front, with street/track cars running somewhere between -2.7 to -2.3 front camber. Whatever the case, you'll want to run the same or less camber in the rear, to deter understeer.

Most are going to run 0 toe up front, and the biggest question is rear toe - it comes down to personal preference between braking stability and cornering. Here's my current settings after installing the GT3 LCAs. Done at a shop near COTA that sets up a ton of Porsches. This is pretty typical and somewhat mild for a car that sees the track... very streetable.
