alignment specs

Alignment specs seem to be a recurrent issue with the Ex. I searched and found a LOT of information on them as a possible source of the wander problem. I see where we have some VERY knowledgeable posters here. From what I gather, you should get an alignment shop to:

dial in at least 3.5 degrees of Castor on your vehicle - as much positive Castor on it without taking the Camber out of positive

But, can we list the specs in one post for all of us trying to work our way through this issue??

Castor=3.5 (or more) positive degrees
Camber= keep in positive realm while giving up as much positive Castor as possible
shim pack from Moog for the ball joints to come within recommended camber angle (if needed to bring castor up)
