#1 Tip - Get some good penatrating oil and soak all the lower strut bolts now, so you have less of a chance to end up with seized bolts. Not a bad idea to spray the uppers too but those usually are pretty free.
To get the camber correct let the people doing the alignment worry about that. It's not a bad idea to leave a little negative camber in it. For mostly street use i suggest no more -2.0 degrees. A little more in the back then the front, for instance -1.5 front -2.0 rear.
Corner weighting the car is also a very good idea. that balances all 4 corners, easy to do with adjustable coilovers. That will need to be on scales.
Keep in mind every time you change the ride height, alignments and corner weighting should be done.
