I have recently had my suspension settings changed to 0.45 minutes negative camber on the front with 1mm toe in on each wheel {front and rear}. I do alot of motorway driving, hence not the full prodrive neg camber.

The car handles with less understeer when driving very hard with alot of power. However when coming off the power the car does not feel secure and the straight ahead feel is vague and light. Is this the penalty for the revised settings or is there a different compromise? When overtaking a couple of cars along a section of road and then coming off the power to pull in the car feels twitchy. Unless driving very hard {which unfortunately I do get the opportunity to enough} the car feels worse than when standard.

Viewpoints appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Julian, thank God, I am not going mad, PE have just set my car to 45' and a total toe in of 3mm, and I have felt exactly what you describe.
