Front:
For some track use and mostly street use I recommend -.5 degree camber in the front. This will improve grip and causes only a little additional wear on the inside of the tire.

For serious track use -1 degree camber is good. The inside of the tire will wear quite a bit more than the outside if driven many miles on the street.

Use the OE specifications for the caster and toe.

Rear:
On the C4 Corvette it is important to use zero camber in the rear. Because the car uses u-joints (not CV joints) an angle on the u-joint can cause vibration when the load down the end of the half shaft is heavy, like when turning hard.

Use the OE specification for toe.
