Pettit FD Specs

Just wondering what people's responses were running Pettit Racing's specs on their FD.
http://pettitracing.com/rx7/index_information.htm
I am currently running Stock wheels and RB springs with Tokikio 5 ways:

I referenced the specs on their website and it just seemed that their specs were awfully small -1.8 deg of camber for an autocross setup. Perhaps I am reading the table wrong. Would someone be able to shed some light on this for me?

The car has negative dynamic camber gain. There is no need for massive static camber angles to keep the tires flat on the road. This is one of the big reasons why the FD suspension is so excellent.

I'm running these specs pretty closely and they work really well for autocrossing on V710s at stock size. I don't have a pyrometer to really verify camber closely but the tread wear is very even after a lot of runs on my tires.
