I generally set my caster angle at 5.5 and leave it there. 5.5 Caster allows you to run less extreme Camber settings because it already gives you quite a bit of negitive camber at 5.5 caster. So I suggest you set it to 5.5 and leave it.

I normally start with Camber set to 0.9 for front and 0.6 for rear. Then as I'm racing, I use the telemetry to check the temps accross each one of my tires. What I want to see is about a 10 or 15 degree difference between the outside and inside of the tires max.

So what I do is start with my general settings and adjust as needed. If the heat is fairly even accross the tires, I'll add a little more camber. I think right now I'm running -1.1 on the front tires and -0.8 on the rear.

Adding more Camber in general will make the car more responsive for the entire corner. Front camber helps turn in, rear camber helps more rotation for turn out. If you use my settings, you may need to adjust your spring rates accordingly.

For toe, I generally try not too mess with it too much. I set my rear toe to -0.3 for a bit more stability and 0.3 for more turn in on the front. Some cars don't need any toe at all though.

Keep asking questions guys! I can see you guys are learning already.
