Let me know when you have figured out how to setup your car, I am still struggling with the multitude of setup options I have now

To compare setups:
front -2 degree negative camber
rear -2.5 degree negative camber
rear 1/8 degree toe in

front sway bar: in the middle
rear sway bar: 2nd to softest

PSS9:
front 3 (1 is hardest, 9 is softest)
rear 2 (1 click harder than front to compensate for the 46%/54% front/rear weight distribution

Corner balance
LF: 740
RF: 740
LR: 880
RR: 860

I'm a nube to track alignment, but isn't the rule of thumb to dial out the rear camber, about 1 deg less than than the front, as close to 0 toe in the front and soft front sway bar, hard rear sway bar?

You might be totally right with that and as I said I am noob myself.
So I trusted the advise of my (very experienced) suspension guy.

Our main goal was to dial out understeer, that's why we went with very aggressive front camber. Of course now that I went the camber route to get rid of understeer I have to be careful not to make the rear swaybar too hard , otherwise I could potentially introduce (snap) oversteer.
With my current setup the car has lost all of it's understeer and when reaching the linit tends to (controllable) oversteer a little (which I prefer more than underster).

But as I said I am learning and would love to compare setup data
