Front Camber: Match rear camber as close as possible
Rear toe: Tiny amount of toe in, usually 1-2mm measured using toe plates
Front toe: Small amount of toe in, usually 1-2mm measured using toe plates
Thrust Angle: Get as close to zero as possible with available tools. I have a digital level that I use for my camber gauge, and it has a built it laser. I use the camber gauge and laser to measure thrust angle.

Thanks for the values, that's what I thought just wanted to confirm what are the factory recommended specifications.
