need to setup the car.

thinking about -2 deg camber front and rear with 1/16 toe out to help turn in and standard castor setting.

Is this a good place to start?

thanks,

Sounds like a pretty good place to start - IF you can squeeze 2.0 degrees in the front. Seems most cannot.

I think common practice is to dial in all the castor you can.

I could only get 1.4 degrees neg camber on one of my front wheels, so we set them both at 1.4. In the back, we were able to get -2.0 degrees.

I set 1/16" toe-in for the rear, and 1/16" toe-out up front.

Since all of these settings were originally very far off the mark, it made a DRASTIC improvement in handling. I haven't felt the need to change anything yet. We also lowered the car 2" at the time, so that may have helped a bit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
