Advice needed on geometry
Hello guys. Was looking through my service history for my car. Come across these graphs for geometry settings. Can some one take a look and tell me what their about? Are they recommend for my car? Have white line 22mm front and rear adjustable bars. White line anti lift kit. Camber bolts. Intrax Hda dampers. 18" Speedline wheels. Goodyear F1 tyres. Thanks a million.

Oem settings are
Front camber -0.30
Front toe 0.00
Rear camber -1.30
Rear toe 0.00
Thrust angle 0.00
So in the first pic the front is ok but the rear has a slight thrust angle and the negative camber is to high.

Depends on how you drive the car, for every day road use the oem settings will get you the least tyre wear, and tend to drive well on all sorts of roads.
Mild fast road/ Prodrive settings do help the car feel more stable with a slight reduction in understeer, At the expense of a very slight increase in tyre life, although hardly noticeable to be honest.
Fast road/ track day settings I personally wouldn't recommend on the road, it can encourage tramlining/ twichyness on bumpy roads and higher rate of tyre wear.
Prodrive settings/ mild fast road are
Front camber -1.15
Front toe 0.03
Rear camber -1.30
Rear toe 0.03
Thrust angle 0.00
If you want the car feeling bit more mobile in the rear with less understeer you could try my settings.
Front camber -1.30
Front toe 0.03
Rear camber -0.59
Rear toe 0.03
This is with the RB rear roll bar.
