The OEM specs are:

caster: 3.2° +/- 0.75°
camber: -0.50° +/- 0.75°


If you don't mind having the inner tread of your tires wear a bit cupped camber of -1.0° to -1.25° (the top end of the spec) will provide better handling.

I run as much caster as I can get, 5.0° to 6.0°, as that causes additional negative camber (which is good) when turning--it does make the steering somewhat heavier at slower speeds but as long as you have power steering it will only be noticeable not unbearable--I like it...
