Any help will be much appropriated
It depends a bit on what car you have also. Some cars like different settings. A basic idea is, front shocks - 8-10000, rear shocks 2-5000. Diff, this depends on what diff you have. Front toe 1.5-3deg toe out each side, 0 to +2.5 camber up front. Rear 2.5-3deg toe in. 0 to -3 deg camber.ride height between 6-10 depending on how bumpy the track. Sometimes higher. Generally the back about 1mm higher than the front.
Hope this helps
