Presuming he locked the steering wheel in the straight postion, then its out by about a degree, it depends on the specif settings on the car.

20 quid, didnt bother posting afters because it was all pretty much zero after, and steering is now straight.
if rear is out will be because of the old bushes in the rear beam, thats on the to do list

0.5 one side and 1.1 the other. i wouldn't class that as alright... unless your setting the tolerences really wide, as it's a car used on the track i'd want it spot on.

no camber adjustment on rear, probably being exagerated by the rear spacers, i shouldnt think it will affect my driving too much

How did they adjust the camber to zero as previously said? Did they need to fuck about with the height?
And good luck if you're doing the rear axle bushes yourself, it's a total cunt of a job.
