Default My new suspention geometry - comments?

So, car's back on road and I got it setup. It's 170mm/180 front/rear ride height.

Now geometry was setup with winter in mind, so 195/55R15 winter tires!!


It goes as follows:

Front(L/R):
camber -2°21'/-1°50'
caster 3°37'/3°09'
toe 0°04'/0°03'
wheelbase - 2548mm/2547mm


Rear (L/R):
camber -2°10'/-2°27'
toe -0°09'/0°13'





It's set up a little bit on front to give it some stability under braking and make it a little less nervous in slippery conditions. Front camber was set-up with much narower tire and little grip in mind, that's why so little of it.

The thing I am most concerned about is wheel base difference of 1mm and rear toe which is little out of tolerance. What do you think? Schould I be concerned about it? It drives very well (for a winter wheel of course) but pulls just a little bit to the right :-( Not that you can't let the wheel go for a while but you have to keep correcting it once in a while to the left.

The best solution would be adjustable beam but it will be hard and costly to ship that to Poland so I still wonder when I can get it. Schould I be trying to get it ASAP?
