[F500] Alignment settings?

[Jeff Blumenthal]

Ron:
 I use 2.0 degrees negative camber (preferably L *and* R), a "touch" of toe-out
(maybe 1/16 to 1/8th to help it turn in). I don't know what the caster
measurement is but the top of the hub is tilted toward the rear of the car.  See
you at Peru this weekend.
