I'm just over -1 degree with camber bolts in the bottom holes to maximize clearance at the perch.
Mine are +45. I've got extended ARP studs so I can run more spacers, with 2* up front I want the wheels out a bit more so they aren't so sunken in.

I took my car to sears for alignment. Gave them my specs and they matched it. (-2.0~-2.3f -1.5~-1.7r) I had 2 sets of camber bolts out front in my stock suspension and measured -2.3 on one side and 2.0 on the other myself before taking it in. The before adjustment specs sears got were -3.0L and -2.7R... That's stock suspension with just camber bolts. I think their machine is either mis calibrated or drunk. -3.0 is unheard of...
Swift sport, about 1" drop.

His machine is definitely a good one, all the local racers go straight to him.

Anyone withing driving distance in Canada should definitely go see him for an alignment.
