On an Astra I take it, is there much point as camber on the front is fixed as is the rear?

about 50, you'd be far better off adjusting toe angles to slightly negative on the front to improve your turn in though.

don't do it too much though rob, before i had mine done the turn in was boss but shagged the tyres no end. ended up getting it more neutral for more sensible wear

I work for vw and we charge £60 for a full wheel alignment including camber, castor and toe adjusments front and rear, if your car is lowered i think you will need to advise the garge of all your suspension specs
i.e the values of the camber, caster and toe ranges, as they are different to the standard values, hope this helps...

not sure mate if u didnt get them with the suspension you bought, they should be able to get the toe
in easily enough, but coilovers could make it a bit of a nightmare to get the camber into spec...

i think they charge 40 only for the front as i didn't bother with the rear, which is probably why they sit at a funny angle after lowering

do what i do i used a motorsport place not a run of the mill garage, they setup my coilovers (camber) and tracking on all 4 wheels for 80quid PRICEY but it was perfect and very good customer service.

they setup lotus elises for track use as there main line of work so i trusted them.

gugliemi motorsport in case anyone knows them.
