What is the best geometry to go for? Everytime I get mine done the bloke asks what I want the toe and all that set to, after a blank look he opens his book and find what Mitsi says it should be!
Everytime I try to set up a car on GT3 I end up slower and constantly living in the gravel trap... Oooh when is the next track day? ;-)

give them a call tell them what your car is doing now and what you want it to do they'll tell you what they think will work.all setups are different.tires, diameter,width, profile,compound,driver preference do you like understeer, oversteer,tight or loose backend,braking habits all dictate how the car will feel to you.like the cars name you evolve with it.they can give you the basic setup its up to you to work with them to fine tune it to you

The camber is best about one to two degrees negative, front and rear, this gives a bit more cornering grip as the car rolls onto the outside wheel in a turn. Standard is about 1 degree toe in at the rear, but i've been advised that removing this will help to make the car more neutral, the standard toe in is set to encourage a little oversteer. The front toe in should be about 1-2 degrees. My understanding is that this is a pretty standard fast road set up, anyone else have any ideas?
