your caster and toe settings are the same as mine.  you can afford to be
much more aggressive on the camber settings. i consider myself to be using a
fairly 'conservative' alignment and camber is at -.086 on the fronts and
-1.16 on the rear...  sticks like shzt to a blanket and minimizes uneven
tire wear.
