I popped down to a customers' garage on the weekend who use the same kit as my local Stratstone. They set the car up, but only had settings for a V8V Coupe, not a Roadster. One of the guys there was concerned that the settings may be different for a Roadster - anyone know?

Car's a standard 2007 4.3 V8V.

Also, does anyone know of any more performance orientated settings?

From what I've found:

these are the manufacturer settings for a 4.3

Front:
camber -30’ (±5’)
castor 5° (+0.5°/-0.25°)
toe 3’ (±2’)

Rear:
camber -105’ (-1° 45’) (±5’)
toe 10’ (+5’/-0’)

these are the manufacturer settings for a Sportpack car (not sure if 4.3 or 4.7)

Front:
camber -0.7 to -0.5
caster 3.8 to 6.5
toe 0.02 to 0.08

Rear:
camber -2.1 to -1.6
toe 0.17 to 0.25

these are what someone reckoned was a good fast road setup

Front:
camber -.68,
castor 5.16
toe 1.3

Back:
camber -1.67
toe 1.8

Mikey K is a good one for Geo settings on the Vantage - he even helped me on my old DB9 yes

If you want to see mental settings, ask RobGT (the 'i' is silent) to post up the lunatic readings from his V8VS hehe
