Good alignment specs?

DOes anyone have some good alignment specs that can improve handling without wearing too bad? I just got my struts replaced and an alignment done, and it understeers really bad now. I think an alignment could help this. I have 215/65/15 tires. Thanks.

Either the FAQ or the tech articles have a post on good alignment specs. If you lower the car much your caster is probably going to need to be maxed out and that's the best you can do with stock equipment. Your tread is small so I don't know if an alignment will really help a whole lot with the understeer problem but it might.
