I see, so there is no general trend on good FWD suspension like camber or toe angles?

Is this car gonna be daily driver and also a weekend track car or what.
If its a mostly street car, then I wouldnt go for more than 2 degrees negative camber in the front, and keep that toe zeroed. Otherwise youll get some really bad tire wear.

Yea i was thinking if I wanted to do track only, without tire wear as a concern. What would be the best setting without any concerns for durability of tires.

The most common track setup in the us is a larger rear sway bar, high rate rear springs (any where from 500-1500). Sometimes a stock front bar or no bar, and springs rates in the 350-700 range.
