Default In need of alignment advice

See sig for setup. It will be dropped 1.75" on Tokico Illuminas (if that matters). What I'm looking for is a good idea of what I should get for camber, caster and toe, front and rear. Obviously this is for autox, otherwise I would've posted elsewhere. This car is also my daily driver so I need some good specs that would also be good for the street. And since I haven't run on these wheels and tires yet what PSI (max 50psi) do you suggest for autoxing?

The only adjustment you will have is toe.

Set it to 1/16-1/8" toe out (total toe, left and right) and 0 in the rear.

So, .RJ, what you're saying is I should toe out 1/32-1/16" EACH SIDE or 1/16-1/8" EACH SIDE? Won't toe eat my tires? Please give me a number on camber, because looking at my wheels straight on and at the outter edge of the tires it looks like I might have a little POSITIVE camber. 0 caster? Mind you, I just got my car in November, so I haven't yet done anything alignment wise because I knew I'd be getting a setup soon enough.

1/16"-1/8" total toe out (left + right).

Not enough to eat your tires.

Thats the only adjustment you have in the chassis, everything else "is what it is". You can gain more camber by lowering the car.
