good alignment settings

Before I start, I don't actually own a Honda, I'm posting this for a friend, so forgive me if I'm out of my element. I'm more of a Miata nut than a Vtec junkie.

Okay, my friend has a 92 Civic hatchback Si. He bought a set of Tokico HP shocks and springs which will lower the car 1.75". Since we'll need to get his "beast" aligned anyway, I'm looking for some aggressive alignment specs which will be reasonable for the street, but will make the car shine when it comes to corner carving. Right now there's an unholy amount of understeer (bad understeer even for a FWD car). Can anyone share settings that have worked for them?

Thanks,
Mike

the camber up to -1 degree, caster adjusted to the max of the specified range and a rear sway bar. i'm sure he would get better results if all the angles go to 0 because shocks are supposed to do that

Its really hard to just give specs since all cars differ a little. You can change handling just by playing with air pressure. A swaybar will definately help with the understeer, thats for sure!
