Default Not sure what alignment to run?

Hey guys just wanted To get some opinions on alignment settings
Do mostly street driving and some track
Want the car to stick to the road like glue through corners
Not worried about tyre wear

Currently on

Front
-2deg camber
0 toe in
Caster 6.4 deg

Rear
-2.5 deg camber
+3.00mm toe in

Mods are coilovers dropped around 3/4 inch with 10kg springs
Whiteline front sway bar
Front and rear roll centre adjusters
Front bumpsteer tie rod ends and rack spacers
Rear bump steer kit
Enkei rpf1s 17x9 all round with 255/40/17 toyo r1r tyres

Currently it under steers a lot more than I'd like it too, to a point that its actually kind of sloppy through corners which shouldn't be the case

Any opinions appreciated
Thanks

When was the last time you changed diff oil?

And with what?

Yes... the diff (Torsen LSD) plays a huge roll in handling, especially around corners.

^^^^ what he said. it seems what you have now should be fine. i would just play around with the suspension settings. leave the alignment, it seems fine. is the sway bar adjustable? if so start playing around with that. autocross and track day set up is different and everyone has a preference. i would make small changes first. and check out http://robrobinette.com/S2000KWV3Tuning.htm theres a ton of information on that site.

Diff oil probably 6 months ago with valvoline ls90 which I know isn't really that great of an oil
I have noticed softening the front shocks or stiffening the rear does seem to help a little
And no the front sway bar is not adjustable

unless that front sway bar is huge it should be alright. but everyone has different preferences and opinions on how a car handles. if you only did the front bar then maybe evening it out with a thicker bar might help.
