I'm just a car guy who's put in a lot of time trying to make my own cars faster around a track. I can hold my own working on the drivetrain and other parts of the car, but my focus has always been on making a car handle well and how i want. So suspension and tires is where my real knowledge is. I worked my way up at the race track, trying to stuff tires that were the wrong size on wheels that were the wrong offset. My knowledge comes from 10 years of hands on trial and error, watching the stopwatch and seeing what made improvements and talking to friends trying to do the same thing.
One of the cheapest things that helped me set faster times is the alignment; people will very and disagree on specs but i've seen too many timing devices agree that I set my fastest laps with 0º toe on all 4 corners (and better tire wear) and a ton of caster. since this is going to be both a street and track car for me, i'm only going with -1º of camber, but i'll probably play with the camber and take some pictures of my car mid-corner and make adjustments to the camber. All part of the fun of modding cars, tweaking and playing with them to make them perfect for you, instead of the average joe.
