Unless you have some stiff control arm bushings I'd dial in a hair toe-in up front.

Why only -0.5 camber front? I'd go -0.75 and more caster if you can get it.

Rear I'd stay at -0.5, that's where I've found even tire wear. The more neg camber you have in the rear, the worse it launches.

This is assuming you have modern tires, 17" or better. If you're still on 15" balloon tires I don't know if these settings will work.
