Alignment in a Z4C with same 18" wheels & tyres

Hi, everyone!
After I proceeded in aligning my MK2.5 Miata, I finally understood why everyone says that it transforms the driving experience.
It is definitely another but superior car.
After many hours -well spent- reading I chose these settings;
Front
camber -1⁰.00 -1⁰.00
caster +5⁰.00 5⁰.00
toe -0.2mm -0.2mm
Rear
camber -1⁰.50 -1⁰.50
toe +0.5mm +0.5mm

Thing is that my cherished Z4C has;
- Vredestein Ultrac Vortis 225/40R18 in both ends
and
- atm I have a AP Racing, only height adjustable, coilovers (which I find really really crashy and eventually will be replaced with oem-like springs and suspension)

I want to loose that understeer and I am leaning towards a neutral to slightly oversteery behaviour.
Any suggestions, please? (and of course @exdos, you seem to be the guru)
Could I use the same specs as the ones in my miata?
Thank you all!
 
I’d say yes. The camber and toe are the same as what I have when it’s set up by a race soecialist
 
Pretty similar to my setup and it drives well. Castor isn't adjustable per se on the Z4 though, so that will end up at whatever value based on the other adjustments
 
I think the small amount of toe out on the rear is a good idea, reduced my understeer significantly.
I would also try and get as much camber on at the front as you can, stock probably another 1/2 degree?

Point of note, AP Racing don't make suspension, only brakes and clutches.
I think you are confusing them with ap coilovers who do indeed make very budget shocks, best get rid as you say.
 
Thanks for the tip! Same camber front and rear?
My bad, they're ap coilovers and indeed too stiff for my liking, can't get the best out of the car in the twisties as there's not much travel available..
