I've tried several alignments over the years and the best so far (based on track performance) is....

Front:
-camber -2.7
-caster +6.2 (max after camber)
-toe 0 (err toward toe in)

Rear:
-camber -2.7
-toe (total) 1/8" in

Tires are 225/245 RE01r's.....

Leo: Max camber up front is going to be around 2.5, so you can either match the rear with the front or run a little more in the back. I think 0 to 1/8" toe in for the rear, and 1/8" toe for the front. That may kill some tires so... up to you haha.

I was wondering if running higher camber and having to lower tire pressure to get proper contact patch negatively effects traction. for example 2.5 camber all around and having to run 32psi hot compared to runnin 1.5 camber all around and a higher tire pressure that would reduce sidewall rollover.... lol may be complicated but I'm curious if anyone has the know how. I do remember seeing C-West's setup being -3 Camber front -4 Camber rear and something like 24-26psi in the tires. Does this make any sense? lol
