To those wondering about the alignemt mentioned above...
I just got my car aligned today. I aimed to achieve the specs that TTopJohn, mitchntx, and trackbird have recommended.

TTopJohn
-------------
CAMBER: -.7*
CASTER: +4* (max this out, priovided you still can get -.7* camber)
TOE IN: 1/32nd"

mitchntx
-------------
CAMBER: -1*
CASTER: +4.5*
TOE IN: 0"

I ended up with:
CAMBER: -0.6* (maxed out)
CASTER: +4.4* one side and +4.6* the other side (closest they could get)
TOE IN: 1/32

I noticed an improvement in steering. The car wanders a bit less and feels more confident on the highway. Its a bit calmer now.

Thanks for the advice guys.
