As a good starting point, most cars will want:
-.5* camber
+2.0* caster
1/8" toe-in

Depends on what kind of driving you are doing.  I include this as a guide in my instructions:

Street
Camber 0 to -1/2
Caster 2-1/2 to 3
Toe 1/16 to 1/8 IN

Drag Strip
Camber 0
Caster 4 to 6
Toe 1/16 to 1/8 IN

Road Course
Camber -1 to -2
Caster 4 to 6
Toe 1/32 to 1/8 IN
