Default Alignment Specs-Stock Ride Height

Found a few threads with search but they mostly discussed specifications for a lowered car. I will be at stock ride height. Just replaced upper/lower ball joints, inner/outer tie rods, A-arm and sway bar bushings. Wanted to get a bit more aggressive alignment without creating too much uneven wear.

-1.3 camber
4.5 caster
zero toe

Saw these for a lowered DD. Would that be OK for stock ride height?

Forgot to add: Will be temporary DD for 3 months but usually just a weekend car.

-1.3 camber may be a bit aggressive, might want to back that down to just -1.0 and give it a try. Everything else looks good.

Mine is stock ride height. They could not quite get to -1 with mine. Caster was about there, and went with a zero toe.

I have (roughly from memory)
Camber: -1*
Caster: +4.5*
Toe: 1/32" IN

Toe OUT is better for Autocross.
Toe IN is better for Highway.
