Default Front/Rear Weight Bias & Wheel Alignment

I just installed Tein SS-P coilovers and I am planning on corner balancing and aligning my car. I was wondering if anyone could help me with the ideal front/rear weight bias for FF cars in terms of handling.

Also, I was wondering if anyone has done alignment tuning with this car or similar cars for auto-x and could recommend alignment specifications. I would most likely just be adjusting front camber on the go with the camber plates but any input would be appreciated. I believe the following are the factory alignment specs for the tC:

Front (in degrees)
----------
Toe: 0.0 to -0.2
Camber: -0.52 to -0.75
Caster: 3.03 to 0.75

Rear (in degrees)
----------
Toe: 0.3 to -0.2
Camber: -0.9 to -0.5
