I've read through your results and comments, lets hope you will get a better wear pattern.

The problem with increased camber and more rear toe, you will typically get better handling, precise responses, sharper turn-in, etc., but often this comes at the price of moving and/or more tyre wear. Just watch that you haven't just moved the wear to the inner edge (camber) and a tapered wear towards the outside (toe). Keep an eye on the wear patterns, don't be tempted to run too low a pressure, or the inner edges may wear off faster than you expect.

Where abouts did you get yours done mate? I'm in Plymouth and got Gupa P's to do mine not long ago (cost me £80) and the car feels a little floaty, admitedly when i initially got it done I had just had 2 new tires fitted on the rear and they were odd pressures but it still feels a little wet...

Would like to try somewhere else that's potentially close to see if their machine comes up any different
