front suspension settings
although my gta handles ok, i think my tracking needs to be looked at,
could someone post the settings for toe,camber,etc...
bearing in mind that i live in england would the settings need
to be reversed.

These specs are from Guldstrand Motorsports who are experts when it comes to suspension components, particularly on F-bodies.
This is what they suggest:
For RACING:
Camber: 1* to 1.5* NEG
Castor: 4* to 5.5* POS
Toe-In: 0" to 1/16" IN
For SLALOM:
Camber: 1/4* to 1/2* NEG
Castor: 3.25* to 3.75" POS
Toe-In: 0" to 1/16" IN
For TOURING:
Camber: 0* to 1/4* NEG
Castor: 3* to 4.25* POS
Toe-In: 0" to 1/16" IN
No difference from them between the left and right side.
