Hi Pal, the settings are for both classic and newage, i studied at college for a bit so got to use there equipment to do the camber and tracking settings.

Price wise i think off the top of my head but dont quote me is aroung £100ish depends if your adding anything else on.

How can you have a MINIMUM of 1,20' (front camber) yet a MAXIMUM of 1,10'
Same with the rear.

I know **** all about geometry, but I do know that -1.20 is a lower figure than -1.10, so that is how -1.10 can be the max.

Not when it's a NEGATIVE number.

Infact (just woken up) since when was 1.2 a lower number than 1.1..
Back to School for you!

Draw a number ladder, much like my 6yo daughter is doing at the mo. Start at 10, go down (less positive, see a pattern forming) to zero then down to -10. Now take the -1.2, and -1.1 and see where they fall, much like temperature. -10 degrees isnt higher than -5 degrees now is it? Not the way we as humans count anyway.

See you in class.

The numbers you are talking about is the angle, in degrees from the vertical of the wheel, so the bigger the number, be it + or - the further away from vertical the wheel is so -1.20 gives you more chamber than -1.10. The - number gives you the / \ look and the + gives you \ / when looking from the front of the car.
