Geometry setup for sprints and hill climbs

Hi guys, after some advice into setting up my car for sprinting. It's a fully stripped car with BC DS coil overs and 10kg front 8kg rear springs. With top mounts.

I have fitted these over the last mo th and the car hasn't ran since.

I will be running hkhumo v70a tyres in soft coupound.

Is it worth fitting any camber bolts or shims etc?

What's an ideal set up. For this year I'm only doing Curborough.

I know I need to do lots of research to get a better understanding but anything to get me going would be greatly appreciated as the alignment place say all they can do really is set it to road spec unless I provide them what I want.

Any help appreciated, thank you!

How I set my car up, generally upsets most people as they think it turns it into an oversteer machine (which it doesn't btw lol)
I run 650lb front springs and 850lb rears also with a RARB.
2.5 Neg camber front and 2.0 Neg camber rear
2mm Toe out overall front and standard toe at the rear (no toe shim on rear)
That's how I drive it in the dry and wet at every Hill and Curborough.

A bit of a thread hijack sorry but do you have any suggestions of alignment specialists to go for setup please or any suggestions on setup? I pick up my car tomorrow 172 Cup for SB class at Curborough. I know the amount of adjust options is limited by standard suspension but presume theres still some flexibility?

Needs a once over but was thinking refresh as needed OEM dampers/spring, engine mounts, dog bone, Track Rods & Ball Joints, then 4 Wheel Alignment / Geometry so wondered whether it's just a generic "Fast Road Setup" to start or some specifics to ask for given different nature or hills/sprints (imagine liveliness/ turn in more important than balance for bigger tracks/races)
 
? I've double posted in wanted section no idea how to delete/edit.

I'm in Sheffield mate near J31 M1 cheers for tip Roddisons who races MX5s isnt it, will give him a bell thanks.
