When I started last year, it was max camber that you can get on a stock holes, (-2.something) and neutral toe. Didn't have any rear toe-links for some time. Also, tried a bit toe-out at front and found better at the track but wear out tires fast on the street (in 5000 miles). Tires were 2 rear sets of PS2s. Worked out fine and car is still in one piece as you all know.

The only thing I would add to what DATAX said is that for a beginner in a 6GT3 on the track I would run 8 degrees (total) of Toe in at the front. You will get very stable braking. The turn in won't be as crisp but that's not a bad thing for your first year at the track. Then move to 4 degrees and then finally 0 toe in front. You would think those small changes wouldn't be noticeable but they are in a GT3. PS2's wear pretty well with a mixture of mostly highway and a little track. As soon as you find yourself addicted, like most of us, get another set of wheels and a set of R-Compounds.

Mooty talks about flipping the PS2 on the wheels.
Does that mean it is OK to run the PS2 with either side facing out? I thought they had a different compound on the inside versus the outside, and that the inside was supposed to be inside.
no?
