Default Wheel alignment / geometry settings on a bugeye

Hi

I did a search but couldn't really find the answer I need.

I have an MY01 bugeye sti and the front tyres are wearing unevenly so I want to get the alignment redone before replacing them. Can anyone recommend what settings to have it adjusted to, I do a lot of motorway miles but would also like it to corner reasonably well when not going in straight lines so am happy to accept some tyre wear as long as one tyre doesn't wear more than the rest as it has now.

I remember having the previous car set up similar to prodrive settings, is there something similar for the newage cars ?

I spoke to one place and they said there wasn't, best to have it set up as standard. I still have the printout from the classic car, can I use the same settings on the bugeye ?

Thanks

Ken

Negative 1 degree of camber both sides on the front or perhaps a little more ensuring it is the same on both sides with a slight toe-in both front and rear. The rear is non-adjustable for camber without fitment of aftermarket products such as camber bolts, adjustable topmounts or adjustable control arms like those available from Noltec.
