Default alignment spec

I have an EK hatch and it need to get alignment.
What do you guys have on the alignment spec? I rarely drive the car on the street since I commute on motorcycle. I mainly only drive it on the track.
I was thinking 2.5 degrees neg camber on front and zero camber rear
and 1/16 to1/8" toe out front and zero toe rear. Does this sound reasonable?

Toe is good for the track - but I wouldn't use those settings on the road due to high tire wear. The negative camber in front sounds reasonable but it would depend on your static ride height and spring rates. There should be some neg. camber in rear like -1.5 degrees. Also, you didn't mention which tires your running. Therefore, the above is ballpark and would depend on tires, spring rates, anti-roll bar rates, ect.
