H&R complete suspension set up?

Anyone running all H&R suspension? Bought a car with H&R coil overs, installing H&R front 27mm and rear 22mm sway bars. Also installing Power Flex front control arm bushings. Anyone else running this set up? Suggestions on alignment specs for autocross/street, and is it worth installing front and rear strut tower braces, thinking about removing rear seat and making a nice seat delete set up.

Do you have camber plates in the front? Do you have adjustable control arms in the rear?

If you are installing PowerFlex bushings in the front, also consider adding the trailing arm bushings in the rear.

For alignment, I’m running the following numbers on my daily driver Clubman, and the car handles great:
Front
-1.7° camber and 1/32” toe in on each side
Rear
-2° camber and 1/32” toe in on each side

no camber plates, I am going to see what it sits at, would like over 2' camber, has alta rear adjustable trailing arm. I have done alignments on these before and found it easy to get all the adjustment i needed from the rear control arm.

I’d be surprised if you could get more than 1.5° in the front without camber plates.

Has anyone just elongated the factory mounting holes on the strut towers to get more camber?
