I had a new alignment done on my bird last summer and did remove the road crown adjustment. I didn't notice that much difference in day to day driving.
I was also able to achieve a bit more than 6* of caster each side at about 3/4 of a degree of negative camber. Turn in improved dramatically. Actually feels like about 75 lbs was taken off the nose of the car.

How much steering angle is typically lost when converting to the tubular LCAs? The steering arm stops hit the LCAs and it looks like I've lost some turning radius. Do the GW steering arms give better turning radius? Can the stock pieces be modified?
And this may be a stupid question, but will the single piston disc brakes fit inside a 15" wheel? Looks like it's awful close to this weld pie cutter. Due to budget constraints, I'm likely going to go to wider 15" pro stars for the time being. I've got 3.5 inches from the bead lip to the outer tie rod. Everything else is farther away with this 205/75-15 on a 4 or 5 inch rim. Check the pics. The first one shows the wheel cranked over to the stop. The second is the passenger side view from behind the wheel.

Hm, I guess it depends on the LCAs, but I've never found there was a loss in steering. Except a long time ago with Fatman Fab ones, and think maybe the CPP ones, but would have to check.
On the calipers, guess it depends on which 15" wheels you're using. If you have room, you could use a spacer. .
