I got the rears mounted and balanced, flipped the fronts, and had the alignment done yesterday afternoon with me in the car. The shop I'd been using previously obviously leaves a bit to be desired:

This is from another post:

S2000 Factory Wheel Alignment (for comparison)
Camber
Front -0 deg 30 min
Rear -1 deg 30 min

Caster
Front 6.0 deg

Total Toe
Front 0 mm
Rear In 6 mm (1/4 inch)

UK TSB Wheel Alignment Recommendations
Honda UK settings are published in degree/minutes and some machines take inputs in decimal degree which is translated by = sign.

Camber
Front -1 deg 00 min
Rear -2 deg 00 min

Caster
Front 6 deg 45 min = 6.75deg

Total Toe
Front 0 mm
Total Toe 0 deg 40 min (0 deg 20 min per side) = +0.32deg (+0.16deg per side)
