Alignment Advice

My car's ready for alignment and I'd like to hear what you think about my plan for alignment considering my suspension setup. It's a modified street bug (std) with 150 hp. I want a moderately aggressive setup for weekend hill climbs and some autocrossing.

Front alignment plan/questions:
*-2 degrees camber -- are extra eccentric camber adjusters needed?
*2mm toe out -- will this be quick, but not too twitchy?
*extra caster with 1 set of shims -- stable high speed and cornering?

Rear alignment plan/questions:
*-2 degrees camber -- more or less?
*2mm toe in -- want a little oversteer...

FYI, the front has:
*adjustable ball joint beam -- set to neutral height
*2.5" lowered spindles
*Stock 70 bug steering
*GR2's
*20mm Whiteline adjustable sway bar -- set to medium-soft
*+4" wider track
*205/55 Yokahama ES100's on 16x6 Fuchs
*spare tire in well
*chin spoiler (Kamei style) -- coming soon

and rear has:
*24.5mm torsion bars with urethane sping plate bushings
*2.5" lowered with urethane control arm bushings
*GR2's
*24mm Whiteline adjustable sway bar -- set to medium-hard
*+6" wider track
*225/50 Yokahama ES100's on 16x7 Fuchs
*roof spoiler -- coming soon

I plan on tweaking the sway bar stiffness and raising the front a bit to experiment.

Thanks for your advice, Bill
