Default Alignment Specs

I have added a Muskegan Composite spring and 17" Cragar's w/255/50WR17 RE750's (very close to original tire diameter). I will be adding (as soon as they get here) VBP's struts. Can someone tell me what specifications I should use when having a four wheel alignment done? Stock numbers, or is there something better that will provide better tracking with minimal tire wear? :cheers:

Vette Brakes has some good reference material on its site.

Here are the settings I've found work well for street driving with even wear:

Front
Camber: -0.25
Caster: As much as you can get. About 2.5-3 dgr with stock control arms. 4.5 with tubular.
Toe-In: 1/8

Rear:
Camber: -0.5
Toe-In: 1/8

Thank you all for your input. I'll be compiling the data and getting it done over the next couple of weeks. I'll let you know how it turns out. :D
