Camber Angle
 
What camber angle set up have people used front and rear? Looking at either optimum tyre life versus optimum handling.

0 on the rear,2/3 deg negative on the front and some toe in.

You may have to put more on for self center at IVA.

-0.5 rear, -2 front. Tyre life is a non-issue. I got 2 seasons, about 6000 km out of a set of R888's. Anything harder will turn to wood before you wear it out, unless you do donuts, burnouts or drift all the time.

Thanks, looks like you are both roughly in agreement, I will go for 0 on the back and 2 on the front as a start point. I have gone for a slight toe out at the moment for quick turn in, self centring seems to be fine.

camber angle
 
toe in at front makes car more stable at speed

i run 1.5 front 0.5 rear and 0,25' toe-in last time i checked but i would say ride height is more of an important factor along with correct spring rate and suitable damping and tyre pressure.

first time out i ran everything at zero camber and toe and slightly soft felt fine on the road and tuned in from there.
