As for alignment settings.....Bruce Anderson recommends:
Front
camber 0 degrees negative +/- 10 min
caster at 6 degress 5 min +/- 15 min
toe-in +15 min +/- 5 min not pressed or 0 deg pressed
O deg Camber didn't do it for me when cornering; ended up with a good 1/2 deg neg and a little toe-in
Rear
camber 1 degree negative +/- 10 min
toe-in +10 min
Yep, at least a full deg but O toe for me
My last alignment was close to these but the strut brace limited adjustment. I will be modifing the brace to allow more adjustment.

Anderson's recommendation sounds like a Euro setting?
Your driveway restricts your height. Otherwise you may want to go 1/2" lower overall with the bump-steer spacers installed.
I found that a 1/2 - 3/4 deg negative Camber front and 1 - 1.5 deg rear makes the car slide equally in the curves; almost a 50/50 distribution, very nice.
