What is it you want to know??

I wouldn't call that much of a fast road setup as it all looks to be within factory tolerances

1.5 degress (60minuts to a degre) front camber and pritty much 2 degres rear camber.

As for your Toe-in they havent even set your rear equal. Plus they are just standard settings. I hope you didn't pay for this as a fast road setup.

Do you have adjustable camber arms front or rear.? If you do then I would have expected the cambers to be the other way around with the front having more than the rear being a road setup.

thats what i wanted to know mate cheers for the reply and no chris at DMS did it for me after hours i told him eactly what i wanted like i was certain on the camber i wanted 1.5 rear and 2 up front and start from there and see how i go but for some reason he kind of steered me away from those settings and did what he has dont above and i dont know why?

this is also my daily so while i want to run 1.5 rear camber and 2.0 upfront what should ,my toe settings im assuming 0 as i want minimal straight line drag.

Also it sounds stupid but can anyone tell me what this car has been set up to camber wise, as ill be going straight back to him so he can alter it.

To be honest for a daily I would just stick with 1.5 front and rear. 2' Rear seems like alot on the rear for a FWD road car.

As for Toes the rear is ok being Toe-in 10min (about 1m) as it will keep it safer and stable. Most people keep the rear toe in a little or at 0 as if you start toeing out it will become tail happy and give you easy lift off oversteer.

The front seems ok as its prity much 0. But front end generaly goes on personal preference. Toe out will make it sharper turning in but make it less stable at speed in straight line. As for a road car me personaly would stick with around 0 especialy with the extra camber it will chew tyres in no time with toe out on the road. If it turns in enough for your liking then I would leave it.

At 2' camber on the rear just keep an eye on the inner edges of you tyres. But other than that is an ok settup. What I would class as a safe road setup. Should be quite stable on the straight and more likely to understeer than swing out on you in a corner.

You wont get that much drag from around 1mm toe in or out so I wouldn't worry to much about that.
 
thanks for the fast reply and again i wasnt to happy when i saw that the rear camber was set to 2 as i just wanted to make sure that what i was reading was right and it was i was told about the toe and it is quite stable at speeds so im happy with the toe it was just he told me the settings he wanted to put it on and i was having trouble relating what he said to the print outs.
