low all around??
lower in the front??
lower in the rear??
mad camber or no camber??
i watch alot of D1 and notice that the pros seem to have their rear lower then the front, im guessing this is to keep more weight on the rear tires.
another thing was the lack of front camber some on pro setups. some camber is always good for better corner grip but why is it fairly absent on some cars??
if im going to toe out the front tires, how much should i do it by?? i hear a slight toe out is good but too much is bad, how much is enough or should i steer clear of toeing out??

about 3/4'in lower in back than front
-3.5 camber in front
2.5 caster
0 toe
that's my setup.
but of course, it also depends on the car and driver pref.. one setup might work for some while not for others..
bu tyeah, th'ats mines.

no.
I usually start off with whatever tire i have, kill that pair..put on some new ones, run a lot more times...then drive home w/ em still on.
so i really only go through about a set per all day session.

i remember getting my camber plates and i said i want to zero out the camber (tire wear issues) but that lead to fender rubbing so i cambered it back in. i can change it now cuz i got a bit more turning room cuz of the fender roll.

depends on weight transfer of each vehicle to be honest a differant setup for a corolla is a different setup for a 240sx. And what may work for one person may not work for you.
I read up on peoples setups and most 240's recommended setup is -1 camber all round for starts and its not about ride height its of course lowering the car will cause less body roll but what wass read was to look at stiff/dampening .... you get the point GL \
Its all trial and error

Oh and on toe remember 0 toe on a FR vehicle means that during movement the wheels will slightly toe out a little, i know many people who will toe in cause during movement it will toe out to 0degrees
its different for FF cars I wasnt really paying attention

I was driving yesterday and realized that you asked why the front was possibly higher than the rear... well it seems pretty basic when i was thinking about it. but on my own theory, the front wheels control the vehicle, you would need the front struts to have give way for any bumps or dips in order to keep traction... correct me if im wrong
