I've got a fast road setup on my phase 2 172
Lowered on Eibach Sportlines, with Koni adjustable shocks and camber correction bolts.
Settings as follows: Front camber -0.5deg, toe -0.05deg
Rear camber -1.4deg, toe 0.16deg
Damping up front is 1.25 rotations from the softest setting
Damping at the rear is 1.75 rotations from the softest setting.
Turn in is fantastic, stability is fantastic, handling is fantastic, feel is fantastic, ride is OK.

Ran it with -2.5deg camber up front for a year before I fitted camber bolts and new track rods.
Fitted the sportlines, konis and new top mounts together felt OK but was compromised by the very slight wear in the track rods.
Ran the konis at their softest for about a year and they were a bit crashy out of bumps on the road, turn in was improved simply due to the effect lowering had on the caster angle.
Went for a setup on the konis which has worked for others and don't feel I need to change it as it performs as described above. The camber correction was more to ensure even tyre wear on my new tyres.
Very happy with the setup now, almost as good as a 205gti.
