For a street alignment have them set at the Service Numbers without any tolerance although I would go with a little toe in at the front Vs the toe out shown which will keep the wandering down.

Thanks guys. I am trying to figure out some specs that will work well with autox, HPED's, and daily driving. I want something fairly aggressive but I kind of have to find a middle ground due to tire wear.

This is what I used when I used the car for all 3 things you want it for.
Camber = Front: -1.5 = Rear: -1.0
Toe = Front: 0 to 1/16 toe-out (total) = Rear: 1/8 toe-in (total)
Steer Ahead and Thrust should come out to 0.
Caster: 6.x degrees or better.
You'll need to flip your street tires across the rims every 5K miles to even out the wear. If you're using the same street tires for everything then both edges will be shot and the middle will look nice. You can drop the pressure way down and go drag racing to finish them off
With that setting it'll pull a little in the ruts in the road depending on the tires you use. The car won't be a chore to drive. It'll give you a good balance for HPDE and AX.

Thank you sir!! I was planning on keeping the tires flipped to get the most out of them. I am running Kumho MX's.

This is what I use and for my compromise settings (knowing that a compromise setting is sub-optimal for a specific application)

Same settings I use as a "compromise" alignment for street and HPDEs
