Alignment Suggestions

Currently, getting back into tracking my car and I'm looking for some good alignment settings (not too worried about tire wear)

The tracks I'll spend most of my time on are:
Laguna Seca
Sonoma
Thunderhill

Suspension & Aero Mods:
Front Camber Bolts
SPC Rear LCA's
RCE Yellow Springs on Stock Shocks
Perrin Front Sway Bar
WRX Rear Sway Bar
Velox Splitter w/ Endplates
Velox Diffuser
SARD LSR Wing
TRD Canards

Tires:
17x8.25 on 225/45/17 Hankook Ventus RS3

Preferably, I would like neutral steer with a crisp turn-in

I would talk to Neal at the Racers Line. He lives up your way and runs the same tracks.

I'm currently on -3.1F/-2.5R/0Toe which provides a very neutral feel - 255/40/17 RS3. Aligned by Eric@Elite Performance

Don't have experience with aero setups, but for non-aero, -3.0F/-2.0R/0Toe is a good starting point.

Note: You will not be able to achieve -3.0F with stock strut and camber bolts alone. If you have slotted coils + camber bolts you'll max out around -3.0F. (This is not recommended; however, there are people who run this to stay in certain class for 86cup)

Contact @Elite Performance or @The Racers Line and i'm sure they can help with further details.

You need front top hats before we can have a real track alignment discussion since your current setup will be less than ideal no matter what you do.

That's pretty good but not enough to dial out outer edge wear.

I think a good starting point for a primarily track driven car is to get as much in the front as you can and use about 0.5 less in the rear and then fine tune from there. For example, I personally went with -2.2f/-1.7r but this is a year round, daily driven street car and I felt this was a good balance to start off with and so far it's been fine. If it was a primarily track driven car though, I'd be shooting for -3f/-2.5r or so.
