real world wheel alignment specs

For starters I did search the database.
Nuthin to definitive as far as real world driving alignment specs.
Are the stock settings the best for stock suspension and stock size tires (Toyo Proxes) ?
OEM specs-
Camber 0.25'
Caster 4 50'
Toe f/r 0
I was wondering if setting camber f&r- 1.5 & .3 is gonna make much diff in "spirited" hiway driving & on mtn rds.

I'd suggest getting camber bolts for the back (there is no adjustment with the stock bolts) and give -1.0 deg at each corner a try. I've been running my AutoX alignment (more than -1.0) on the street for over a year without any serious tire wear problems. Make sure you go to an alignment shop that understands that you want -1.0 at each wheel, not an average of -1.0 in the front and back.
