Recommended Aggressive Alignment?
Someone recommended me to get my alignment done to specs:
-2 camber - front
-1.3 camber - back
zero toe out - front
.25" toe in - back
what about the caster?
-2 camber - front

How much inside turn in bite do you want (more caster). 7-8 degrees is stock.
How soft is your suspension? (more roll = more camber = more caster reaction = bad)
How low is the car? (active camber changes accelerate once arms go below parallel).
What type of track? (short turns, autocross? Road Atlanta? Daytona?)
Top speed? (you want these suckers to be planted in the straight too, right?)
-2 degrees camber is very extreme dude. Do you have a bump steer kit? Do you have a camber kit?
If it were me I'd get practice at the stock setting, then go extreme with ONE setting (camber before caster) so you can feel the real difference, then adjust.
I hope my rambling helped.

With that much camber you are maxing out the cams on the lower control arms and removing all washers from behind the upper control arms which means you will be limited to about 4 degrees of caster.
On the street you will be wearing out the inside edge of the front tires.
