Help!!! Need Camber Specs

i lowered my 96 with the hotchkis springs, has anyone else used these and happen to know the new camber specs.. my brother and i are rebuilding the front end this weekend and knowing those specs would make life alot easier when we align it.

http://www.f-body.org/faq/4/4_5.htm for reference.

I have been running the Hotchkis springs for many years.
Based on some info I read a long time ago, I run:
-1° camber
4.5° caster
0° toe
I don't have any excess tire wear with that camber setting.

shoeboxes settings are the most negative camber I would recommend, any more might start wearing tires, caster is good, you can go slight toe in(+.20 max total toe) and not wear tires, and not negatively affect how it drives
