Default Adjusting the Stock Alignment

Well, I think my car is due for an alignment, and I was thinking about messing with the alignment. Thing is, I drive a S14 on stock suspension. I know you can slightly adjust rear camber and front toe, only about a 1.25 difference. Would running a bit of negative camber in the rear (-1) and 0 toe up front be worth the change? I'm trying to aim for a more drift friendly set up. Wouldn't it be more benificial to run a more positive up front, at lock my tires would be in an upright position? Any other ideas on toe/ camber settings...? I'm also runnin on chromies which is killer on my suspension, is there anything I can do to relive some stress? (Other than new wheels or upgrade suspension, I am fully aware of the need. This is just temporary!)

poss camber up front will make the tire roll on it's bead and will have no contact patch with the ground

= no grip = understear

there really isnt much adjustment. nothing that would really make any positive gains anyway.
