your gonna get some serious tyre wear with toe out and 2 degrees of camber - be getting some tyres again in a couple of months!
had mine set up last week - I was told 2 degrees of camber is way to much for a road car and will make the front end too twitchy on the straights. Also when running a lot of camber toe in is advisable to stop the tyres having a pasting

I have had this set up for the track days that are coming. Car is solid in a straight line and I have just returned from Scotland having done 1300 miles in a week. Lots of back road fun and plenty of motoway miles. Feels excellent. I also cranked the damening right up (?) for a softer ride and it was far less crashy that before on the motorways.
Weeman sucks ****

My 1.3 is fine, the tyres wear perfect even. 2 degrees could be interesteing though.

Me or Donz?
I got Mark Fish to set mine up. He also had to take off the seized adjustable collars and do the setup for about 120 quid iirc. The car felt quite different afterwards.

I have an AngelWorks flowed Head, full manifold work and some pretty wild cams. I'd stick with his High Torque variety though unless you want to go standalone management.
I have ledas too, what spring rates did you get and what damper settings are you running ?

I know these are track cars not road cars, but surely he's trying to get as close to a track/handling setup as poss.
As you say yourself a track is not a public road.
My understanding of it is the lower you go the more you have to increase your damping/spring rates to compensate for the reduced suspension travel, before you hit bump stops or catch the arches.
'Forward rake' or back slightly higher then the fronts is the preferred method for a front wheel drive car. I assume in a similar way to a rear driver benefitting from the car squatting down and putting wieight over the rear wheels a front drive car takes weight off the front wheels reducing grip. If the back is slightly higher then the front the car squats level reducing this effect.
IMO setting up your road car to be as close to a stripped out cup car with rear coilovers that races on smooth tracks is not the best way forward.
When I discussed the setup of my car with the bloke at Northampton Motorsport he said he might take 10mm out of the ride height front and rear but would maintain a slight forward rake. He said doing this was not worth the hassle as the difference would be neglidgeable.

Allow me to interject.... the car has been roughly arranged for super quick road use, the road north of Perth through Braemar up the spittal of Glen shee to Huntly, oh boy thats a fun quiet road!!
Ultimatly the LEDAs allow constant easy adjustment. I must have changed the setting 6 times durung my 1300 mile trip. Ride height has been kept to a usable limit but this can be changed to. The car will being seeing the track loads over the next few months and im sure it will see various heights abd settings.....thats the point! Just for the record....I had the back on 8/24 and the front on 10/24 perfect for the B roads. For the Track will have the rear at 18 and the front at 16.....super rigid!
