Took the beast in for a wheel alignment as my tyres are wearing a bit too fast (It's not me I drive like a Granny (mostly) )
I took these figures in and the man said these were set up for flat roads with no camber.
This was pretty much how the car was and he suggested that it would cut the tyres out more quickly.
He has set the car up to cope with our local roads in SA and these are the figures he has used
The main changes are to the front and rear toe:

Front

Caster L 2.7 deg
Caster R 2.3 deg

Camber L -0.9 deg
Camber R 0.1 deg

Toe L 1.9mm
Toe R 2.5mm
Toe Total 4.3mm


Rear

Camber L -1.3 deg
Camber R -1.9 deg

Toe L 3.1mm
Toe R 3.1mm
Toe Total 6.2mm

Thrust angle 0 deg

Secondary Angles

SAI L 14.0 deg
SAI R 14.3 deg

Included angle L 13.1 deg
Included angle R 14.4 deg

Setback Front 4mm
Setback Rear -3mm


Track width Diff 27 mm
Wheel base Diff 7mm
 
Depends on where you get your wheel alignment done too. Many places won't have the RVR factory alignment specs either. If they happen to use an Eagle SMF aligner setup...they shoud have the RVR series on file. I know cos i used to be a under car specialist by trade. It's really gonna come down to your personal preference as well. Toe, Camber and castor are gonna be different for most RVR owners as most have aftermarket springs and shocks and they will react differently on road surfaces. The rear allows for toe-in and toe-out and slight camber adjustments. Your quite limited as to how much can be 'dailed-in' however.

If you are allowed to watch the aligner perform the adjustments, DO IT!!! Unfortunately there are many rogue wheel aligners out there that don't give a sh*t and just want your money. Believe me, i know the tricks of the trade. I can quite easily make a print-out of fake readings just to keep the customer happy (specially ones that request specific adjustment measurements). So just be wary guys. Your print-out may 'show' a correct alignment but in reality it could be worse than when you realise! Hope this saves your tyres etc so you actually get what your paying for!

Cheers
 
Great! This is one of the things I was looking for.
Because the RVR HSGR isn't in the european alignment computers.

Does anyone perhaps know the toe alignment figures in degrees?
Overhere we measure the toe in degrees.
