Are there any specific settings that I should request him to do to improve the drive characteristic??
Cheers

you could change the 1mm to 2mm if you really want to improve substantially but you then have to really concentrate on your driving, no more one hand on the wheel malarky

Saying that though when the geometry setup is un-even the civic can be an absolut dog to be honest, i'm convinced thats part of the reason for the massively differing opinion in the motoring press, some had well set-up demo cars others had one that had been down a pot hole or 2 or like in my car was just shot to bits when it came from the factory

The better you want it to handle, the more of a bitch it is to drive. But toe settings in general are very easily knocked out again. I had the setup done on a thursday and had to go back on a friday to sort a tracking issue out. Did not hit any potholes or bumps but already the toe settings were out again, not by much only 0.-3-0.4mm but still one friggin day??!! Whats it going to be like 6 months from now?

1mm toe out front
1mm toe in rear
