Alignment Settings

Hello Pelicanites,
My car currently sits at ~25 in the front and 24.25-24.5 in the rear and I would like to do an alignment. Any recommendations as far as alignment settings go? I put roughly 500-1000 miles on the car and I plan on doing DE events more frequently soon.
Car has been corner balanced.

Please share your ride height and settings with us.
Cheers

I'll chime in. My ride height is about the same as yours, kinda low.

I'm running -2.25 deg. neg. camber front and rear. Front toe is straight, rear is 1/8" total toe in.

Sort of darty with that much camber.

I'll keep in mind If trolling is how you spend your time, please I would highly recommend a new hobby

In all fairness there's likely 100 threads about alignment settings on this site, it's not stlrj's fault you are too lazy to read them. Then again there's a new "what tire" thread every day, and a rash of air conditioning threads every July, so you're not the only lazy one here.

General consensus from all the alignment thread for your use, assuming you're running street tires and not running significantly stiffer than stock torsion bars :

As much front camber as you can get with the factory plates.
~ 1/2° more than that in the rear.
A touch of front toe in for highway stability, a touch of toe out if you want a little quicker turn in.
~1/8" rear toe in, you definitely don't want rear toe out.

Anything can change depending on how your car is setup, but that's a good baseline for mostly stock cars. Watch your bumpstops if you're that low, you may be running into them, which certainly will be detrimental to handling as spring rate skyrockets when you hit one.

Thanks for the help. I'm running 22/29 for torsion bars.
As far as my alignment thread, it has nothing to do with laziness. I've read a ton of threads where they highlight alignment for euro ride height or slammed for track application and nothin for the in between.
Also my intent is really more to to develop a collection in one place that's all
