Max your negative camber out in the front.
Run about -0.5deg to -1.0deg in the rear (not that you can can really adjust it on a stock car).
Slight toe-out (half a degree?) front AND rear will be best for autocross, but will wear your tires somewhat quickly if you do a lot of freeway driving. If you want to save tires a little bit, go zero toe front, and 0.5deg out in the rear. If you want to save tires even more, go zero toe all around.

On Sunday i ran with this:
assuming les schwab reports toe out as positive my alignment is as following
Left Front -1 camber .02 Tow out (degrees)
right front -.4 camber .02 tow in (degrees)
left rear -1.5 camber (not adjustable) .09 Tow out
right rear -1.7 camber (not adjustable) .01 tow in
I'm not sure if i could make mine much worse...
for a little while i had .35 degrees tow out in front, which felt awesome and a little wild, but i wore out some snow tires BIG TIME driving to and from reno every day like that... :(
i'm pretty sure i bent something on the side that only goes to -.4 camber, or maybe i bent the other side ?? i've read some 05 sti owners get -1.2 both sides, so i probably bent my -.4 side. 07's i've heard you can get -1.5 !!
if you want some throttle over steer, keep the steering wheel turned, and stomp on the gas, even with my wonkey setup i throttle over steer, well in really tight low speed corners.
Also vic i'm using the 27-29 whiteline adjustable front swaybar , set to 29. there's a strano 32mm swaybar out also (its hollow, weight savings?)
