Alignment spec advice please

I'll be installing Bilsteins and BMR upper A arms this weekend so an alignment will be in order. Anyone care to offer their advice for alignment specs?
If it matters:
285s on 9.5 x 17s
stock springs
32/21 swaybars
street and some autox use
Thanks

I don't know if the upper A-arms allow for any more negative camber, but if so, -1 degree or so would work well for a street/autox car. Personally, if I could run -1.5 to -1.75 I would, I just can't get that much out of mine. All 4th gens are camber challenged. On most stock cars you wouldn't be able to get much more than about -.7 to MAYBE -.9. I run about 4.7 degrees caster and zero toe. If you really feel inclined, you might try a little toe out for better turn in. It makes the high speed stuff more touchy but you shouldn't be driving that fast on the street anyway!!! :-)
