This gives a good driving experience, sporty and responsive, and because you are not running tons of toe in, in the back, it won't drag the inner tread and wear it out, even with all the negative camber back there.
I'm going to respectfully disagree with Steve on his recommendations for alignment. If the car will only be driven on the street at normal speeds, I wouldn't max out the negative camber and have zero toe, at least on the front. I maxed out the camber on my 2002, because I will be doing track days with it. It now "tramlines" over uneven pavement, and is less pleasant to drive most of the time. But if the car is going to see track duty, then yes, max out the camber and go for zero toe.
