Aggressive Alignment Settings

Hi all

I've been working on my other car for a while and have the suspension set up very well on it. Currently:

Front -
Toe out 1 deg
Camber -1.8 deg

Rear -
Toe in .25 deg
Camber -1.5 deg

(Caster is not adjustable)

It's a RWD mid-engine car. The performance is almost perfect in hard use on the track. It's very responsive on the street and doesn't act "strange" or "funny", whatever those mean.

Now, I need to get my P5 set up. I don't think the settings for the other car will work. I'm probably going to keep the rear straight up. I don't like the twitchiness at speed when you give the back toe out as a lot of people like to do on FWD cars. I'd like the nice strong bite at turn-in I get from the toe out on the other car, but again, I don't think this will translate well to a FWD front-engine car.

So what are your suggestions for an aggressive trackable (but also somewhat streetable) alignment? I'm basically looking for strong bite on turn-in, stability at speed, stable on full power at track out, and balanced feel through the sweepers and low-speed turns. I'm running Eibach Pro-Kit springs, the SRMotorsports Performance Gas Shocks, and the Eibach camber adjustment cam. I'll eventually put a bar on the back, but I want to work step-by-step.
