Track Suspension Settings

[Jonsey]

I thought it would be helpful for everyone if we could compile a list of suspension settings people have found works well for them on the track. I am open to any suggestions, but I think the following format would be a good place to start. I thought it would also be helpful to list your suspension components.


Settings:
Front Camber:
Front Caster:
Front Toe:
Rear Camber:
Rear Toe:


Suspension Components:
Springs and rates:
Shock/coilover type:
Front sway bar:
Rear sway bar:
Endlinks:
Bushings:
Front Camber devices:
Rear camber devices:
Wheels:
Tires:
Aero:


Notes:
(neutral, oversteer/understeer, allows good turn in, etc.)

There are like a gazillion permutations...

You'd also need to add in tire model/size, wheel model/size, aero, etc....

Car feels fairly neutral but getting some push on low speed corners; I suspect this is driver induced and I need to follow-up by examining my data. Some tire temps are linked here but I need to get off the track sooner so they aren't cooled off as much:

The Dunlops are much faster than the Rivals I had before but the car feels wobbly as opposed to solid with the Rivals. The Dunlops are good for 1.5sec on the road race track.

2.2 -2.5 was plenty of camber for me
