R56 Alignment/Camber Recommendations

I'd really appreciate any advice from the suspension brain trust regarding optimal toe-in and camber settings for my R56. This is an 09 factory JCW with sport suspension, 17" run flats and Eibach lowering springs (pro-kit, 1.2" drop). I had the dealer install the springs and they told me that the camber was within spec and didn't need to be adjusted. I have no issues with the current handling or ride characteristics, but I'm thinking it wouldn't hurt to dial out some of the negative camber. Is the factory center setting still best for a lowered vehicle? For the 1 or 2 for-fun-only autocrosses I might do a year, I'm not too concerned about getting 10/10ths in the handling department and prefer to optimize for street use and best tire wear.
