Keep the fronts at barely negative, -1 at the most I would say - and keep the backs at -1 - 1.5 depending on how "stable" you want the car to feel while driving straight.

Stock specs should be something like...
Front= 0.0
Rear = -1

stability seems fine for me. during a slow bend on a on ramp to freeway, doing 70mph, i feel car gets floaty / not planted.

If you dropped it without a camber kit your front wheels would go to negative camber, which is what you want. The rears would require a camber kit, as your toe would also go out of spec pretty horribly (front is double wishbone, rear is 5 link, so your front is less sensitive to camber change under articulation, which is why a camber kit might not be needed on the front, depending on the drop). But yes, a drop would definitely help - but only if you get new springs and new shocks. I wouldn't do it any other way. Personally, I think the A-SPEC kit is definitely the best deal for our cars.
