Confirm my alignment specs please

I have an 02 MCS, with TSW springs, rear lower control arms and no camber plates. I do a fair amount of highway driving, some city, occasional canyon carving, no AX.
After spending a fair amount of time with the search function, I wanted to come up with some alignment specs that I could give my alignment shop. I want something that I don't have to worry about my wife being suprised with the way the car handles and that won't eat up tires. I'm not interested in toe out.
Here's what I think I want:

Toe
Front 1/16" toe in (I think this is stock)
Rear 1/16" toe in (I think this is stock as well)
Camber
Front -1.0 deg (not sure if front is adjustable?)
Rear -1.3 deg

Feedback, criticism?

Front camber is not adjustable. Get IE fixed camber plates for better handling and a better ride.

^^^ Check the marketplace for some used camber plates.
