Corse castor and camber settings

[quetech]

What castor and camber settings are people
using on the front end of a corse S.
I have a set of new wishbones to fit sometime
to correct the castor setup but It has been so long
since I looked at the suspension I can't remember
what sort of settings I should use.

OK, castor should be in the 3 to 4.5 degree bracket. More important to be even left and right than bang accurate. Mine's running just under 4.

Camber - around 0.5 degrees negative for road, all 4 wheels. I believe up to 3 degrees all round for track grip and turn-in.
Alignment - 9 minutes toe-in each wheel, same front and back.

or:

Front

Camber -2.5°
Castor 5°
Toe in 1.5°

Rear
Camber -1.5°
Toe in 0.75° (too much understeer with 1.5°)

Figures from David May:

Front
Camber -3° (negative)
Castor 3.5°

(I've got a very fast rack and don't like heavy steering.) It's a bit hard for rough events but very controllable on dry tramac.

Rear
Camber -2° (negative)
