I wouldn't go chasing a particular angle on the a-arm - too many variables really. Basically you want to raise the spindles as much as you can. The factory had to allow for 14" wheels, don't forget. This is why we're in this pickle in the first place.
Depending on what size wheels you're running, you may only be able to raise the spindles what seems like a small amount, (19mm MAX for 15" wheels, 30mm for 16, etc.) but it would make a significant difference in the roll center. Due to the geometries involved a small change in a-arm angle can make a much larger difference in roll height.
It will also be advantageous for the camber curve which may actually be headed towards positive on that outside front wheel.
