Do you autocross at all? How many miles do you put on the car every year? Are you OK with rotating the tires at a higher than normal frequency? How much "dartyness" are you willing to put up with. (yea I just made that word up).

I'd set the camber to -.5 max, caster: +5.0 and toe 1/16 total in.

A little bit of camber will help with the initial turn in and the caster will help offset the camber loss when the body rolls during cornering. 1/16 total toe in will help the car track nicely.

BTW, it is possible to fit 315's on the front
