Setup for trackday

[dRk]

I'm going to trackday next weekend. I would like to ask for a hint on how to set up a car or something to improve.
I have Eibach Sportline springs and standard shock absorbers, rear camber -2.0, front -0.50 and semi slick 195/50/15.
What is the optimal tires pressure. What brakes to use ds 2500 on the front and rear or only on the front and standard on the rear?
Thank you for every suggestion.

What track
You need more camber, what's the toe?
What tyres?
Pads are 'ok'
Rear, stick standard in.

Check brake fluid too. Braided lines? I'd go for more camber on the front.

My set-up for track is:
Front
-2.5 camber
Just over 3 castor
5mins toe out either side

Rear
-1.5 camber
Neutral toe

Petrol, lots of it.

Get a set of camber bolts for the front and have it set with as much negative camber as possible, you'll get around - 2.5 max. Leave the rear camber if fairly even and what's the rear toe? Neutral is predictable..

Front pads get something track spec, Ferodo, Carbone Lorraine, Mintex etc. Rears leave standard as they don't do much.

Semi slick track tyres in that size should be around 30psi hot pressure, maybe start with 26f/27r then after a few laps come in and adjust. You can play about through the day with pressures to find a nice balance in handling.

Thanks for the reply.
Toe in front is -0.10. Tires are Nankang ar-1. I replaced the brake fluid about 3 years ago on the RBF 660 motul, but I think the pedal is too soft and need to be replaced. As you said I set the front camber to -2.5 in front and leave -2.0 on rear. Brake pads ds2500 on front and ferodo premier on rear will be good?
In the future, I plan to change shock absorbers for bilstein b14 or Gaz GHA. Which kit would be better for the track and daily ride?

Don't really want toe-in on FWD track car, as you accelerate the wheels pull in towards each other. This will also effect turn in slightly as the wheels will be fighting against each other.

That toe out is not enough I think. I'd go for more. They come with toe out as standard it's around 12 mins out.

Ai 10-15 mins out is recommended

On the weekend I will take part in special stages organized on the track. This will be one run on 1,5 miles going every ine hour. Tires will not heat up. The track is technically used mostly on 2, 3 gear. What pressure do you recommend?

28psi all round and check after first run
