Found this on the old site
Hawk castor and camber settings
I'm just looking at the (professionally set up) figures that Don Bunn gave for his Transformer in 1998. Slightly different each side for some reason, so I've taken an average.

Front
Camber -1°04'
Castor +4°35'
Toe +0°01'

Rear
Camber -0°58'
Toe -0°33'

Those were the figures given, I'm not recommending them.
I didn't post them alongside the Corse figures to avoid confusion.

I'll recommend the Don Bunn figures Mel - very similar to what I use. ( not sure about yours though Ian ! )
Good starting point John, you won't go too far wrong with that. Maybe a touch of toe in at the front but that always depends on driving style and how you like the car to feel on turn in.
Set your ride height first.. . . . .
