Go with oem specs if you're just DD'ing. It keeps your tire life longer.
For track use you would benefit with a little more -cambers. I'll let the track gurus chime in on that.

You will not be able to adjust your front camber unless you get aftermarket camber arms.
I am hopeful you did get rear camber links. If not, your rear camber will be around -3 degrees, which is way too much. You should shoot for -1.5 degrees of rear camber. Please post your post-Swift alignment numbers. I am curious if your front camber will have a significant left-to-right variance. |

Toe is where the issue is. Go with zero toe front, (not center of the spec range) dead zero.
In the back, a touch toe in. I run 1/32" toe in each side, 1/16" total toe in. Toe in or out wears your tires more than -camber does. and makes the car handle funny. The front camber ends up around -1.4 to -1.8, which is close to spec and works pretty good. The back ends around -2.8 to -3, which does require adj camber links and toe bolts to correct. Don't forget to put a lock out bolt on the adj camber link.
