I'm dropping my car in for a track set-up later this week. After posting on the Facebook group and googling previous topics I'm still none the wiser as to what settings I should request.

The car is 1:3 track : road use so I don't want it too aggressive.

So far im thinking -1.3° camber / -0.5mm toe front and 130mm height. Rear of -1.9° camber and 1.5mm toe with 140mm height at the rear.

Any further suggestions? The car is a 410 on Nitron 3 way adjustables.

I had my car set up by Suspension Secrets on Thursday at Silverstone. I’ll email you the set up sheet, but I’m less aggressive on camber.

All received, cheers buddy. As you said, a bit more camber on mine. Did you notice much improvement?

Front 0.5 toe out? normally with a RWD car you need toe in, or you must like a nervous car at high speeds. rolleyes

A little toe out on a track setup is relatively normal I believe. Helps turn in. As you say, it does come at the price of high speed stability but quite manageable.

This.

Very little impact on high speed stability, but improved turn in was the main reason for getting the geo done. They come out of the factory with a bit of under steer to account for the fact that anybody might buy one.
