Default UK Alignment for MY04

searched & I came across these specs for UK wheel alignment seems to be noted for MY00-03...

Can someone please let me know if these specs are applicable to MY04/05?

also can you please let me know what the downside is for this alignment spec? tire wear versus quicker response feel etc?

I had my MY04 set to UK specs soon after I bought it. Handling is a lot better than the factory alignment. I am still not happy with the initial turn in on the car, but I think it might be inherent in the RE050's.

I am noticing a slight increase in wear on the inside rears, but not very much at 4400 miles. The fronts are wearing flat.

I suggest you try the UK alignment and adjust from there as needed.

Make sure you take it to a shop that does custom alignments, otherwise you might get some dufas that will smile and nod and then set it to what he or she thinks is best.

BTW, my rear toe is set at 1/4 inch (in). I think that is the UK spec in inches.
