No charge! I told you they were good guys.
Glad I was right about the caster too. If you want a bit more front end grip, you could add more camber, but leave the caster where it is, you'll retain the light around the straight ahead feel you like.
Do be careful drifting it, especially when the roads get wet, and temperatures drop.

Yes thanks for your help with the Caster, it did the trick. We set the target at 5o50'. With the rear toe WIM Hunter machine definitely has a factory rear settings at 7' toe-in each side (14' total) which is at odds to the spec on this forum.
Since my overall priority is fun and not grip and speed I think adding front camber will again reduce steering feel so for now I'm going to leave it where it is.
I'm a bit surprised that WIM didn't tell me to drive the car a few miles to let the suspension settle after the alignment bolt greasing
Next job is to get that Extended Honda Warranty sorted as my car is an 09 with just 16k miles so the engine is probably not totally proven yet. No ticking noise, I just want the peace of mind from the warranty.

The Extended Warranty is well worth it, especially on an 09 car with potential engine problems as well as the more common VSA problems. Given you get European AA cover included, it's good value.

My local dealer refuses to match these prices so I'll just buy from the cheapest, which happens to be the dealer who supplied the car and gave it its first 5 services - so if I do get engine / Gearbox / diff/ VSA issues then there is some continuity
