Just got an alignment...FYI
I drive a 2001 Integra with GC/Koni (400#,500#) with 205/50/15 Azenis and 15x7 Kosei K1 wheels. Previously I had -2.5° front camber and -1.4° rear camber. The wheels were tucking a bit, and was rubbing the fenderliner under hard cornering.
There was also not enough suspension travel and the shocks were hitting the bumpstops. So I decided to raise the vehicle up about 1" or so. My new alignment readings are below.
Camber
FL: -1.7°
FR: -1.8°
LR: -1.20°
RR: -1.0°
Toe settings are exactly 0 on all 4 corners and thrust angle is 0.0°
Caster is 0.3° and 0.4°
If you're curious, the ride height is 12.50" front and 12.75" rear from the center wheel hub up to the fender. This lowers the vehicle 1.5" from OEM height.
Overall I'm happy with the numbers for a street driven car and occasional autocross in STS.

I hope you just missed a "-" in there otherwise the car is going to feel funny in left-hand turns.

No camber kit, I just lower/raise to gain/lose camber.
How "slammed" are you going to be? You won't need a camber kit, but the car won't handle very well..
