I think most people have found that camber seems to have a good balance if 1 degree more negative camber up front compared to rear camber.
If you like the way your car drives.....leave it alone.
The guy doing the work told me a car tends to toe in under speed. I've never heard this before, but he advised against toe in. I would have liked a little more negative camber in the front, but the Megan's are difficult to adjust and I could tell my time on the rack was up.
Our banter here basically illustrates a very important point; where you begin and what assumptions you make determine where you'll end up...I little more camber in the rear adds a stabilizing affect and 1.6 is not overly aggressive. The other way to slice bread would have been to dial in a bit of rear toe in and less negative camber. Tuning is an iterative process and the outcome, again, is based on what ever else you've done. BLIZZ wrote it all, if you like, drive it!
Hell, mine came back from the shop with over 3 degrees negative camber in the back and so much toe in up front it was off the scale...among other things...I didn't like it...in an hour I'll get my ride back...we'll see. I've been very hyper lately and it's due to rushing and surprises...I hate surprises. I hope the alignment feels good this time.
