camber links angled up front and pretty flat in the rear.
2deg camber all the way around.
1.5mm droop front and rear over ride height (sounds like a small amount but the car loves it)
3deg block in the rear
1.5mm front sweep (1.5 block up front)
Jaco blues
1-6-2-0 on my TC spec (The drag break has a big affect over corner speed, so play with this until you find something you like)
Jack the gripper Rear full; front 1/3 inside


hope this helps if you want more specific setup please let me know I can post one.

Artwork, my set up :

1.5 mm frt roll center spacers, 1 mm rear
Silver bar front, no bar rear
50 frt / 45 rear AE oil, 1.1 pistons
2mm frt camber link spacer, inside inner hole
2mm rear camber link spacer, 1mm on hub ( rear link inner is in one hole from most inner position. outter rear link on outter most hole on hub )
1.5 mm droop all around
3 deg rear toe
1.5 front hindge pin sweep
Jaco blue, full Jack front and back

I ran the rear link in the inner most hole and outter most hole on hub with a 2mm spacer on the inside and a 1 mm on the outside. I did this as a desperation move to lock the back end in and BOY it did just that ... too much so that I moved the inner mount out one hole.
This seemed to help.

I think Korey's advise to raise the roll centers is good. I plan to go to 2.5 mm spacers in the front and 2 mm in the rear for staters.

Thanks for posting your set up.
