Alignment specs?

All,
Thanks so much for the answers I've gotten so far. This board has been a life saver in some spots. :)

I'm putting a set of Maximum Motorsports C/C plates in the car, and obviously am going to take it in to get aligned after it's done. However, I can't find any good information on what to ask it to be set to. Anyone have a suggestion?

For daily street use... 1/16" toe in, .75 to 1 degree negative camber and 2 to 4 degrees positive castor (I think 4 degrees was the most I could get out of my plates).

Mine only go to 4 degrees positive, all the way back.
