Post CAMBER AND CASTER SPECS FOR LIGHT AUTO X?

I am in Europe and I just dropped my car off for an alignment. Since I am sure that I will have to bring it back anyway I figured I would ask. I am almost positive that they do not have the specs but anything will be better than what it was. I have the 87 or 88 spindles, struts,etc. Do I have to use the specs from a newer car? What would be an optimum setting for camber? Will I have to get the camber caster plates to get it back "in"? One more thing......Does anyone make a Panhard bar that will, for sure, without a doubt clear 2.5 exhaust that follows factory routing?

You only _may_ need C/C plates for the alignment. The stock "onionhead" plates dont have a lot of adjustability.
I would opt for near stock specs. If you lower the car, I would use less camber (less negative that is).
As for the panhard, cannot comment "for sure". I know the Griggs SD ones do not. The HD ones have trouble with most brands of aftermarket ones. The other Panhards (like BBK and Saleen...) I would not buy. I have personally seen those bend and catastrophically break (and slice thru a tire).

I just want to be clear because I do, in fact, have to take it back. When you say stock, would that be stock 86 or stock 87 or are they the same?
