I told the tech to use factory specs but w/ near zero toes:
Before,
Rear L/R camber -1.8/-1.6 Toe 0.32/0.12
Front L/R camber -1.3/-1.3 Toe -0.08/0.25
After,
Rear L/R camber -1.4/-0.9 Toe 0.10/0.08
Front L/R camber -1.3/-1.3 Toe 0.01/0.01
Anyone suggest a better setup for street performance?
thanks

Other things to consider are that a non-stock sway bar, different rims, different tire presures, etc. will all change how your car's suspension feels. Once you have good starting point you can try adjusting tire presures slightly and making small changes in future alignments to get the car to where you want it. Once you mod it, your suspension will probably need some tuning to get it dialed in just right.
This doesn't necessarily apply to you, but a couple of other people were talking about tire wear, so: Too much toe (either in or out) is going to increase tire wear much more than your camber settings will. Think of too much toe in as trying to ski down a hill while doing the "snow-plow"; your skies sliding across the snow would be the same as your tires getting pushed across the pavement. It's something most people know, but don't really think about.
