Having raced a FWD to club and class championships (track, motokana, hillclimbs, autocross) I have a competition setup that worked for me:
Front.
Zero toe.
3.0 degrees negative camber.
5 degrees positive castor.
Rear.
2.0mm toe out
1.5 degrees negative camber.
For a "Fast Road Setup" I would change the setup to:
Front.
Zero toe.
1.5 degrees negative camber.
5 degrees positive castor.
Rear.
2.0mm toe out.
1.0 degrees negative camber.
I don't agree with:
1mm toe out at front,
2mm toe in at rear.

Rob would this be a good base to start with for a every day car that does get some fast road action too?
I thinnk this would be well out for the road, 2mm toe out at the rear would loosen the back end grip to prevent understeer, or you can just run 0 - 1mm toe out all round, -1 camber on front, and loose up the rear and prevent understeer -2 camber on rear.
There are may ways and your driving style, if you want to "steer with the rear" wack the toe out on the rear. Ive ran -1.5 camber at front, -3 camber rear, and slight toe out all around and loved it but the rear type wear is too much.
**Just like to add all my experience is based on the DC5 as ive had 3, but never had a CTR, so what i have said maybe irrelavent, lol** But shouldnt be to far out.
My current setup adjusted yesterday as i changed to Tein Flex Coilovers, is for road use really as i wont be on the track this year so will save my tyres. I'll post it up later.
