I'm assuming these are what they've set it at now? The car should drive fine. It's a pity they couldn't get the RH camber down to zero but hey, it's pretty close.

What does you handbook say they should be? Maybe for the standard cars about 5??? I think the FPV cars are up around 7. It gives you more feel through the wheel. Works very well with stiffer springs and stiffer anti-roll bars so I wouldn't be going any lower than 7 - just upgrade the rest of your front end to suit and you'll feel a big improvement in handling.
