the car's suspension has now been fully rebuilt with Spoon bushing and the nitron shocks overhauled
settings as below + corner weighting
front Caster Left 5°20 «
Caster Right 5°15 « (max possible)
Camber Left -1°20 «
Camber Right -1°20 « (max possible)
Toe Left 0°00 «
Toe Right 0°00 «
Total Toe 0°00 «
rear Camber Left - 2°30 «
Camber Right - 2°30 «
Toe Left + 0°20 «
Toe Right + 0°10 «
Total Toe + 0°10 «
and so with these settings there's 11°26' kingpin angle on the left and 7°41' on the right.. the question being : which side has a problem ?

Your rear toe numbers look wrong. Toe Left 20 + Toe Right 10 should = total 30, not 10. If it does = 10 then that implies that one wheel has toe in and the other toe out.
You might be able to get higher negative camber in the front by lowering the caster.

integraR0064: suspension is stock other than Nitron oneway adjustable shocks & Eibach springs
and ride height in millimeters (...) is FL 101, FR 105, RL 102, RR 108
(car is relatively low, in fact a little too low (at the rear) for the Toyo R888 225/50*16 on Spoon wheels that I think are going to scrub on the wheel arches at track loads ...)
robrob: of course your right, typo.. numbers in wrong order, rear toe is 0°10' either side and total of 0°20'
