Default Setup with PBM SAK kit

What alignment spec setup is everyone running with the pbm kit,
Just installed this kit over the weekend I know I have way more adjustability
With this kit it's crazy. Also I'm pretty weary of having it aligned at a regular shop.

First find someone who knows there stuff when it comes to alignments. I took it to two different guys who said they could do it 8 hours later they couldn't do it. I finally found a guy gave him my specs and 4 hours later its perfect.

front -3 camber
toe 1/8 out
caster +8

rear 0 camber
toe 0

Rear
1/8 - 1/2" toe-in depending on how the car slides sideways vs traction. Use tire pressure for sidebite adjustment and add toe for more fwd bite.
0 camber or plus 0.5 if you have lot of grip/body roll/squat.

Front with PBM
Pull back caster closer to 7 or high 6 by shortening the diagonal arm "banana shaped arm", this will stop overcentering once you shaved the spindles to get max angle out of the kit.
Front toe:
1/16" total out for fast drifting.
1/4" total out for slow drifting (front of car will turn a tighter radius).
Front camber: -4.5 ish.

Since the kit allows the knuckle to pivot about a single point instead of 2, our scrub radius increases considerably! My front wheels are 9.5" wide and have an offset of 0 (my scrub radius is out of control now). The first time I got sideways with the kit, the car felt very twitchy and sensitive. Didn't slide near as smooth as it used to

I want to ask what front wheel widths and offsets some of you guys run.
