Suggestions before aligning lowered CGT?

  On cars prone to understeer (my 4kq...) I like about a half-degree more 
negative camber per side in the front than in the rear.  Just had it done, 
had the rear set at exactly zero toe, and perfectly balanced side to side.  
I prefer oversteer to understeer, so my thought is to a) give the front a 
camber advantage, and b) start from a known neutral point wrt rear toe and 
then if I'm still plowing go to small amounts of toe out in the back.

  $0.01,
Robert
