I don't know if I would go a full degree on camber unless this will be a track only car, maybe shoot for -.25 or -.5. Over a degree of negative camber driven frequently will generally wear tires excessively.

6 degrees of caster is good but getting all of it with the upper control arm may be too much on a first gen. With a fixed lower ball joint position, moving the upper rearward to achieve 6 degrees sometimes results in tire rubbing issues. A lot of companies move the lower ball joint forward a few degrees and the upper rearward a few degrees to achieve this much caster. this way the wheel position in the wheelwell remains un-altered.
