While I'm waiting on some rear camber bolts to get here I thought that I'd ask opinions on some suspension settings for my new coilovers.

I use my car for 60% highway, 30% street (very bad roads), and 10% track days.

Parts that I'm using are Race Comp Engineering (RCE) Camber Plates, AST Sportline II Coilovers, Whiteline Rear Camber Bolts, KartBoy Rear Endlinks, Stock Wheels/Tires, and a Whiteline 27-29mm Front Sway Bar.

1. What would be the best compromise between the road and the track as far as camber is concerned (front and back)? I've already decided that I'll run as much caster as I can (twisted the RCE plates to allow this), and zero toe all around. Keep in mind that sense I see mostly track with the occasional AutoX I'd rather keep the car neutral at high speed vs neutral at lower speeds such as AutoX (I'm afraid of high speed snap oversteer).

2. I was told that I should run my rear coilovers without the helper springs. I like this idea as it will allow the shock more motion in its range. My question is, should I do the same with the fronts meaning should I not use the front helper spring?

3. What would be the ideal height setting for these coilovers front and back. Keep in mind rake, driveways, bumpy roads, etc.

Thanks kK

Well, it appears that these boards move a LOT slower than what I'm used to so I posted this same question over on NASIOC.

In short the below settings are what I was advised.

Front:
Camber = -2.0*
Caster = max
Tow = 0
Height = 14 1/2"
Damping = 7
Helper Springs = Yes

Rear:
Camber = -1.5*
Toe = 0
Height = 13 1/2"
Damping = 6
Helper Springs = No
