Default alignment stock vs ????

What kind of alignment specs are people running. Anything to get more on curves vs. in a straight line or the opposite. I have a dd and can get aligned for free. anything i should change?

jackdaroofer how are the Z51 shocks? I've been looking into what to put on my car. I was thinking of the Z51, are they to harsh for a daily driver?
