track suspension set-up

I read so much thread (some made it to sticky) about suspension all there is to know but almost nothing about the actual set-up.
So since we are not part of big raciing team, and all have limited budget I would like all of us to share info on camber set-up.
What f/r camber for what track?
Anyone experienced assymetrical set-up?
My personal experience is limited to a -3 in the front and -.5 in the rear at pocono south and my car never felt better.
Please let's all share as much as we can from personal experience.
Fast track vs technical track, what would be the minimum and maximum f/r camber from your experience?
Let's builld that thread

Alignment is going to depend on a couple of different things.

tire width/compound
spring rates
other suspension modifications
driver experience and preference
daily driver or track only


etc.

I know but we are not there yet if we get a base could be a good starting point,
you are talking about a difference of .25/.5 deg depending on susp etc...
Let s at least share all of our experiences max/min...

Just saying that if you share your experiences with different alignments, it will be helpful to include all the extra details as well.

I run -2* in the front
-1.8* in the rear with slight toe out in the front
I like the way it feels but, I play with the alignment so much that I like it every other time I change it.
I really feel the need to get more - camber in the front

Yeah the -3 in the front with hoosier R6 255 cusco 2r susp, where amazing turning in the turn, the car goes exactly where you want it to go, when you want it to go... especially in the technical part of the track.
I wonder how much would be a maximimum for technical track...And if anyone had experience with assymetrical camber, and to estimate a good starting point.
I know mclaren f1 at monaco runs between -3 and -5! in the front... when I asked the guys at the pit they asked me if i worked for Ferrari! lol I told them I was just curious...
