I have TRD springs and sways, stock rims with Bridgestone Potenza RE003 (Firestone Firehawks) in the stock size. Threw in 16mm Whiteline Camber bolts in the top mounting hole for the dampers.

I can't adjust caster but have the following specs:
Toe Front +0.1mm
Toe Rear +1.1mm

Camber Front -1.3 degrees
Camber Rear -1.7 degrees

I find I have more front grip after the camber change (didn't measure it before the suspension mods but didn't have much negative camber in it). It still understeers when really pushing it but that is a trait I prefer for street driving. My car is not a daily but I don't track it - weekend warrior only. Suspension guy reckoned not to go with more than -1.5 degrees of negative camber in the front for the street.
