I just use my old GRP foams. They are 40 shore and 26mm all around with 2mm offset so the car is 205mm ride on front and rear. I'm thinking of taking off all that toe in and keep the rear tires with zero toe in. I didn't try the stock tires yet though.

I use 42 shore in the front and 35 shore in the back, the toe in in the rear is at 2,5 and no toe in in the front, the camber is also set at 2.5 front and rear, and the height is at 4mm in front and 5mm in the rear, works great!!!

I think its -2.5 toe-in in the rear and none in the front. No camber all around. 9mm ride height all around. I'm gonna tighten up the centax a bit for more acceleration.
