Luis, what is "scuttle"?
I went with that amount of camber at the suggestion of the person aligning. Not a very informed decision, I admit, but this was from someone with alot of experience in setting up alignments. At this time, I don't feel a need to cure power exit oversteer, as it is more a steering feel than the rear stepping out, as it did constantly at some corners of Laguna Seca, Buttonwillow, and around the neighborhood canyon twisties.
Good comment on tire performance; same goes with braking and turning simultaneously, I know.

I find the Honda UK settings very interesting. They follow the trend of you hot shoes by adding more negative camber front and rear but their front castor setting goes up. This raises a few questions.
Would there be anything different in the UK suspension?
Do you think their settings are based purely on driver expections or something else?
Any thoughts on why their castor setting is heading a different direction?

I believe Honda UK rented a track and beat the hell out of the car before they came up with those numbers.
The increase in caster is aiming to help with the steering numbness that lots of car magazines in the UK are complaining about.
I wonder if these alignment figures are achievable in all cars especially on lowered cars.
