No, I did not request for those setting. Told the dealer I am a newbie for track days. They setup accordingly. Not sure if I am reading the alignment setting correct; attached is the alignment readout.

Had about eight track days, what would be a good alignment setting? (still a newbie at this.)

Thanks!

You're reading it correctly. Are you on oem supsension? lowered?

I would recommend increasing front camber to -1.2(max on oem setup) Adding a bit of toe out on front (negative x.0x) reducing negative camber on rear to -1.7-1.8. Again this is given you're on stock supension.

Redwood city? I was at Alices yesterday. cheers.

Went on a run and passed Alices just this morning. ( maybe we can meet up sometime)

The car is lowered with RSS Toe Steer Kit, Rear Link Kit and Sway Bars.
Thanks for the alignment info... can you recommend a place for tires and alignment? (For my other cars, been using General Tires at Redwood City)

Running 18's for stick track tyres sounds like a good solution.
I've had great success previously with NT01s and good success with RS3s, but
none of my WB 993 wheels will fit over PCCBs and I don't want to invest in a set of sticky 19's right now.
sigh.
