Having failed to obtain suitable alignment results the last time around, I
want to make sure that I'm asking for the right specs now.

The car is a '95 ATX with stock springs, GM rear control arms, Tokico struts
and strut tower welds broken. The car is intended to be my wife's daily
driver/freeway runner, rather than a canyon carver.

Here's what I plan to ask for, based on the SHOtimes FAQs:

Front Specs
    Toe:    neutral to 1/32'nd inch toe-in per side, balanced per side
 Caster:    max available, balanced per side
 Camber:    -0.5 to -1.0 degrees per side as possible, balanced per side

Rear Specs
    Toe:    neutral to 1/32'nd inch toe-in per side, balanced per side
 Camber:    -0.25 degrees per side, balanced per side


For the front I know from past experience that the best I'm likely to get
for camber is -1.0 degrees per side.

Thx.
