I had the Powerstation Stage 2 set up fitted to my RA a couple of weeks ago.
Totally transformed the handling and turn in - 100% delighted with results.

Doug - I have no idea!
But I think the Stage 2 conversion includes Eibach springs?
I do however, have a very comprehensive print out from Powerstation showing the settings:
Rear Axle
Camber -1.53' left -2.05' right
Individual Toe +0.03' left +0.05' right
Total Toe +0.09'
Setback +0.02'
Geometrical driving axis +0.01'
Front Axle
Castor 20 +3.24' left +3.11' right
KPI 20 +14.51' left +15.01' right
Toe out on turns -1.50' left -1.34' right
Camber -1.49' left -2.00' right
Individual Toe +0.03' left +0.03' right
Total Toe +0.07'
Setback -0.08'
Including angle 20 +13.02' left +13.01' right

Shorty:
That is nearly what you want!
While there stretch the plastic about £100 and have them fit a whitline rear anti roll bar, and if you can a whiteline Anti Lift Kit.
This will add considerably to the car's final performance. It will be great!
To my 2 hill climb friends: think carefully about 60/50...I would go back to 50/40, my original choice (and Powerstation's too).
Will do this next year if i can.

shorty - I've got Eibach's and had the geometry done to my bugeye, without the bumpsteer (at Powerstation) and have been very pleased with the results - although I'm now considering the AST upgrade as I think one of my shocks may be shot.
One word of advice though: The Eibach's don't quite fit a scoob 100% (defo newages, can't confirm classics), so expect some occasional creaking when you go round corners sometimes. You could ask Powerstation to wrap the springs before fitting them - they did that for Pippyrips and he seems happy with the results.
