depends, maybe like -2.5 camber, max caster (isn't going to be much, 4-5), and start at zero toe, and tune from there. most people need more camber, but they also run narrower tires. toe could go either way, although i suspect an auto-x car will want a little toe out.

the ride height should be even, or maybe a little higher in the front. the front roll center moves with ride height, and the rear doesn't.
