Not sure what car CB has, my settings are very similar on a newage, but with 1.75 degrees of front camber. It handles like a dream and even the wife likes the way to drives now but I do have quite a lot of non-standard suspension stuff fitted.

Don't know if there is any difference between recommended settings between newage and classic. I suspect they'd be very similar if not identical

IMO camber bolts are better than drilling.

I would catagorically advise against drilling because of the likelihood of introducing corrosion at these structural points. Camber bolts can be had for next to no money

To me the settings above read as before settings.

I'd aim for pretty much neutral toe, and about 1º 5 neg all round would be fine, but i stress everyones wants are different, thats why someone like WIM are great to talk to.

Also you'll need 2 sets if you want full geo, some for the front, some for the rear.

Front has camber bolts from the factory, you'll only need extra camber bolts if you want a greater degree of adjustability

The top front bolt should have been a camber bolt.
