Default Autox Alignment

hey guys, i have been autox'n stock Z for over a year now and decided to upgrade some stuff this year and just looking to find some info for Alignment set and suspension set up... i did use the search option and found lots of helpfull info but not exactly what i was looking for...
here are is what i have on the car...
Cusco zero2 coilovers
Cusco rear Traction arms.
Ichiba rear Control arms
Ichiba Front control arms
Hotchkis F&R rear sway bar.
Enkeis 18x9.5F and 18x10.5R +15 all around with BFG KDW's 265/35 frnts and 275/35 rears
I found some competition setups but thats are too much for me... since i daily drive my car.... i understand there is no such thing as competition/street setup... its either or... i m trying to look for a set up that a compromise between autox and daily use...
Any help would be appriciated. Thanx in advance...

You can probably run -2 degrees of camber front and -1.5 to -2.0 rear without to much inside tire wear. Buy a tread depth gauge and measure your tires and keep an eye on the wear. I would try zero toe front and rear and see how your car tracks down your roads. If the car likes to follow every groove in the road, a little toe in will help.

I would start with lifting the car up a bit, looks a little bit low to be able to handle. Next, are you looking for a Daily drive and weekend play toy alignment or weekend play toy alignment. There is a big difference in settings between the two

i would check those ichiba arms to see if the bushings have torn or not... replace them with some quality arms if possible. they are known to fail

-2.5 front camber with 0 or 1/16 toe out, then autocross i would run around -1.5 rear camber (better contact patch for corner exit) with 1/16 to 1/8 toe in.

Roadcourse i run a bit more rear camber to carry corner speed.
