here's some thoughts....
If this is your daily driver - and you put highway miles on it - stick to the stock setup - otherwise you'll wear tires out very very quickly.
that said ... here's what I do.
I run 1.5 degree negative camber in the front and 1.7 negative camber in the rear. The rear is not adjustable - so this is the result of choice of tire width and lowering springs. The fronts have a 'little' adjustment in them.
I run an additional 1.2 degrees of toe-in on the front (left the rear alone). The issue with toe-in is that it can help your turn in but it can be unsafe and make the car feel 'darty'. It also creates a pronounced scrub on tire - but since I'm already running with such bad camber - I'm sacrificing $ to the tire gods anyways.
My issue is to create a good balance of weighting the front tire (when turning) enough to get good bite but not too much roll as to cause a weight shift where I'm unloading the opposite rear corner and cause a huge oversteer when I get back on the pedal coming out of the corner.
Playing with your tire pressures can make a big difference as well.
