Maxed out camber in front (as much as you can with stock bolts)
0 toe all around

Max out the front camber, which will be around -1* if you are lucky. The rear camber is non adjustable so you cannot change that and get 0 toe all the way around.

also if you just got tires mounted and balanced you dont need an alignment. However, if you just put the springs on you do.

and when you say max out the camber with the stock bolts you mean get the most camber posible right? further away from 0*

as negative as possible.

the alignment guy may fight you, but he should be able to get at least -.7 in the front.

there is not a specific value for rear camber, is "Adjust Toe eccentric to be Zero left and right" going to correclate and setup a camber with respect to front camber?
