Aligment specs. For front end.
I want to have an aggressive alignment done on my boss to help with auto-x handling. How does one go about this? Just ask my alignment shop for an aggressive alignment, or is there a set if specs they should follow?

I would think they should do something like 2-3 degrees camber and a little toe out for better turn in. Not entirely sure but since stock is 1.3 or so I think 2-3 would be pretty aggressive.

A good place to visit is Vorshlag's Mustang blog if your looking to see how things work out, the auto-x a 2012 or 2013 GT I believe, in any event I remember reading a few entries about spring rates, shock set-ups and alignment settings.

Not typically true. Negative 2-3 degrees of camber will help handling a lot and not significantly affect inside shoulder wear. You have to get drastic to really chew through the tires faster(neg. 5+)
To the OP. I would suggest starting at 2.5 if your running stock/street tires. Maybe go as high as neg. 3 degrees if excessive shoulder scrub is not occurring. Good way to tell...mark the shoulders with some chalk at the wear line on the tire.(see pic) If you scrub away the chalk you can use more camber.
I left toe angles neutral as I don't like the twitchiness and I didn't feel it really helped the car change direction that much better.
