Also had the 4 wheel alignment done yesterday by chris at DMS its not the best setup but will give me something to work on i suppose, if anybody has any other setting then feel free to share them with me, thanks.

You should have more negative camber on front than on the rear. In a front wheel driven car ;)

I'm running -2 front and -1 rear

I think the toe on the rear should be about 0. You can play around with toe-out on the front for better turn-in, but will decrease straight line stability :nice:
 
I run -2.0 front and -2.6 rear on mine with 1mm rear toe out.

Probably not optimal but suits my driving fine and I like the feel of it.

Yeh that's what I always thought, sorry to be a pain but could someone tell me how to rear those print off's with the results on as If I'm correct I'm running over -2 degrees of rear camber?

I run -2.0 front and -2.6 rear on mine with 1mm rear toe out.

Yes that sounds like a fair setup and thats what I wanted but he ended up doing the above.
