You need to find a technician who will take the time to match the values on each side as exactly as possible; just getting them in the oem green zone is not acceptable.
Alignment is a personal thing, but you want to have as much camber as possible for handling, which will then increase tyre wear.....its a compromise. Your toe values should be identical at 0, but some prefer a smidge of front toe in for increased steering feel.
But as above, carefully matched values are the key, not vague computer says ok values.

Indeed but at £156 for a four wheel alignment I'll skip. Gone are the days I used to pay £120 for an alignment (in the FSTi cause I couldn't find cheaper), that's taking the **** really for something that is less than an hour's work.

It's worth the extra just to spend time listening and picking his brain.

Moreover, if I want to play with different settings in order to see myself the result I'd definitely not want to pay over £100 for each adjustment.
For someone wanting to learn about geometry it may be a good opportunity though.
