I do my own alignments and I set my Camber at - .75 or the top of the wheels in. I set the Caster at + 2.75 and the toe in around 1/16 or 1/8th .
I know this is not what is called for but I like it. I have had 2 alignment at various shops and I have never been happy with how they set it up. As long as they get within specs they don't seem to worry. I think that the camber is most important to keep the same side to side
