Alignment specs

I'm looking for a pretty aggressive street / occasional track alignment spec for nice handling. I got kw v3s and hotchkis bars.

What do you think about this setup.

Front wheels:
Camber: –1.42°
Caster: +5.58°
Toe-out: -0.03°

Rear Wheels:
Camber: -2.08°
Toe-in: +0.05°

Thanks

I have an aggressive street alignment too. Cant remember exactly what the specs are but I'll check when i get home and i'll post'em up for you. I know they are more aggressive than what you posted tho.

How do you want your car to respond? You should first get your suspension dialed in, and then adjust your alignment to fine tune the suspension, and lastly, adjust your tire pressures to fine tune the alignment.

I lowered the car, had the mechanic put the spc F+R kit, and figured I have to do an alignment. Would you recommend just sticking to factory spec and tweaking from there? By suspension dialed in, do you mean rebound, dampening, etc?
thanks

My camber is nearly identical to yours. 1.42 and 2.11. Could I just leave my front like this on my x coupe? Will this affect winter driving?
