What The castor and camber settings for a spyder?

Hi all

Anybody know what are the ideal castor and camber angles are for the front and rear wheels on a spyder?

I'm fabricating some special rear arms and can make them what I like.

Also I recently saw details of reworked Front Suspension Linkpin Carriers for Negative Camber and was wondering what would be the ideal scenario.

Anybody got and thoughts? (or advice on who might be good to speak to)

Do you mean an original Spyder or Replica ? :lol:

550/550A/718 RSK/RS60 ?

I would speak to someone like Barrie Martin @ Technic Motorsport :

I'm building a replica of a 550A - an acurate replica.

And the swing arms fix the camber on the rear wheels .(the drive shafts have uv joints unlike a 356, a 550 or most spyder replicas)

However the choice of ride height alters the camber so I was wondering what the ideal settings might be for a mid mounted car.
