Default Alignment Specs - Seeking Opinions

I'm planning to schedule an appointment with a shop next week to adjust my alignment. I do about 4-5 track days per summer and put about 3,000 street miles on the car each year. I'm wondering if anyone has any comments regarding my planned specs:

Front:

-1.5 Camber
4.4 Caster
0.0 Toe

Rear:
-2.5 Camber
.12" Toe

Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated. Would anyone suggest going higher on the rear camber? The car's suspension is stock although I plan to get new sway bars next winter.

Just got my alignment done this morning. I have coilovers, buddy club ball joints and front camber kit, AP2 wheels 215/245 F/R. You can see from the top alignment specs how out of whack they can get after putting in suspension parts. My alignment now has max positive camber allowed in the rear (which is still decently negative) because of the ride height of the car.

From my initial impression, driving straight from the shop to work, the car handles neutrally for DDing with a bias to oversteer at limit. This is just my initial impression from my commute + spirited driving, so my impression may change with more driving and a track day. I actually prefer very slight understeer because of my limited track driving experience
