Suggestion for FD street/dragstrip alignment? Petit site down

I finally got my new diff in the rear. I've been REALLY negligent about getting the car aligned. Even though the diff was just installed, I did all the rear pillowballs, bushings, shock mounts, etc about 1000 miles ago and haven't aligned it yet.

It's pretty bad... when you stomp on the go pedal and the rear end squats it tries to drive itself off the road! haha

Anyway, I tried searching Petit's site but it's almost un-navigatable now. Can someone post a good street alignment spec for me? The car sees the drag strip maybe 2-3 times a year. I don't autox or road race.

I have Koni Yellows - lowest perch in front, middle perch in rear with Eibach Prokits.

I'm running 18x8's with 235/40/18's in front and 19x9.5's with 275/35/19's in the rear.

Thanks!!

Since you are running staggard wheel sizes, you will need more negative camber in front.
Front -1.2 chamber, +6 caster, 1/16" total toe in.
Rear, -1 chamber, 0 toe and 0 thrust angle.

Thanks! If you don't mind me asking, what's normal front camber?
