Currently running:
KW Sleeves (1.2in drop in the front and 1.0in in the rear) with 12mm MS spacers all around. Wheels and tires are OEM ZCP specs.

Thanks for the help!
Bad idea in my opinion. You need .10 degrees of toe on each side on the rear for stability under braking and acceleration. Less than that, especially a total toe of 0.05 degrees, and you'll have instability.

You can run zero toe up front if you feel the need to run a lower toe setting somewhere on the car. It'll be more darty at the front, but it's a whole lot easier to control a front end that's darty than the rear. Also, set your camber up front at least 1/2 degree more (negative) than the rear.

If you aren't tracking the car, just run it in the stock alignment range.
