to start the ball rolling....

positive camber is not good Wink the pre 70's rollas came with this and is not reccommended.

for castor, between 2 and 5 degrees +ve, more gives you more stability at higher speeds

for camber, maybe 1 to 3 degrees -ve. depends on the car and the amount of body roll (which is why you have camber). too little and you will be on the outside of the tyre under hard cornering, too much and you'll be on the inside of the tyre.

more camber also increases inside tyre wear for straightline running and will slightly decrease braking performance (which is maximised by no camber)

toe-in? more toe-in increases stability, toe-out helps turn in, esp on FWD cars..

for my car (69 sprinter, road usage) i have about 1.5-2 deg -ve camber, about 3 deg +ve castor and for toe-in, i measure it so that a straight line from the inner face of the front tyre, is about 15mm in from the inner face of the back tyre.

tyre wear is even, has good turn in and stability, especially compared to stock settings of +1 camber and about +1 deg castor..
Cya, Stewart

ps, if any stuff i said above is incorrect, lemme know as that's just my ideas Wink
