On the front end setup, as an autocrosser, I find that you cant have too
much negative camber or positive caster. The toe should be very close to
zero, no more than 1/16" in as measured at the tire with your best tape
measure. A slight toe out will give you a quicker turn in, but tend to be
squirly on the highway. Or you could always let someone else do the
alignment.
Happy motoring
