Alignment specs - KW V3 + GC Camber plates

I'm looking for an alignment starting point for a setup with KW V3 coil-overs and Ground Control camber plates. Anyone have the same or similar setup and want to share your specs?

How much negative camber were you able to get at the rear of the car?

What are you toe settings for the front and rear?

Thanks

I'm running 3.2 degrees front with 0 toe.

Rear -- 2.2 degrees with approx. 3/16" total toe-in.

Was your rear camber maxed out? Are you lowered?

My suspension changes got delayed by a broken windshield. The coil-over, camber plates and front sway bar are going on tomorrow. When things are complete I'll post the results.

As a more general starting point, what is the stock camber & caster?
