Track alignment settings?
Can anyone share with me some good alignment settings for a 951? I don't know why, but some folks treat these as a big secret. Also, what are the recommended street settings? What do you all run, trackside? I'll be on Hoosiers so I'll have about -3 Camber but I'm not sure where to go with the caster and toe.
Thanks much..

Since noone else is offering advice, I'll relay some setup info that has been recommended to me. I have no personal experience with this setup.
caster: max you can get out of it
rear toe: 0 to slight toe in of ~1/16"
front toe: 0 or slightly out for more aggresive turn in
Did you ask on the email list yet?

From what I have heard, people recommend
Front:
Caster- max
Camber -one degree more minus camber than rear
Toe- zero for tire wear, slightly positive for quicker turn-in
Rear:
Camber - as above
Toe- slightly minus (toe in)

I just had my car set up. Difference being it's used for combined street and track, so I didn't go so radical on the camber. And I'll likely use Kumhos on the track, which don't require as much negative camber as Hoosier's. Settings were:
Front:
- 1 3/4 deg camber
0 toe
3 deg caster (max possible)
Rear:
- 1 1/4 deg camber
0 toe
And ride height level front/rear and left/right.
Most importantly, all adjustments were done with me in the car and 1/2 tank fuel.
