The ride height is pretty consistant, but I recently figured out that when I change tires I need to measure again because tires come in different heights and can throw the right height out of whack. A mm of ride height can deffinitely affect handling. As far as toe, I use a homemade set up rig to measure toe and keep it at zero. I also tried zero degree of front camber and found the car was harder to control. -1 all around works great for me.
Ok that makes sense. I do an average as well. I would be interested in seeing how you do the toe-in. I never really thought about the different tire heights. Do you take a setup board along to the track, so you have a flat surface to work from?
