Default F-Type wheel alignment specs

There have been a few posts scattered about on the F-Type wheel alignment specs, but just now I stumbled across the specs in of all places the Owner Manual, page 206:

If these are grandma settings for you, what settings would you recommend for a dynamic F-type driver?

Good info. I recently responded to another post and have additional alignment info available...So thought I would add it here for ease of locating and keeping similar info in one spot.

Front : Toe 0.15, camber -2.2, caster 7.5
Rear: Toe 0.15, camber -2.5
Since the camber is not adjustable on the rear, it can be achieved by lowering the suspension with lowering springs.

Thanks Unhinged - I will need lowering springs, not sure yet if I should go for the VAP for the HR H.A.S. system.
What are the effects compared to the Grandma setup?

I found reducing the toe will reduce inner tire wear and makes the steering feel more responsive (Grandma would say its twitchier). Maintaining the same toe on both side will give you a better feel for the actual road surface. You will be more aware of road crowns, but also will feel more comfortable when using the full road surface to apex. When lowering the car, you will not only benefit from the increased camber (improved tire contact), but also from lowering the center of gravity which will significantly reduce roll.

Sorry...really can't comment on the AWD as I have no experience with them. If I had an AWD though, those specs are where I would start.
