Aaron I met with Graham yesterday .He remembered you.I need to find a good recoed steering box or a used one with minimal play to reduce the amount of freeplay in the wheel.
Suggest you use Avandull's settings
PS any help in finding a good steering box appreciated.

Track car suspension settings are personal preference. Also depend on the condition of the track..Baskerville is bumpy, so are hill climbs i compete in. So 2mm toe in helps the bump steer and straight line stability. The bump steer which I suffer is further magnified by the zero offset wheels I am using, so I am trying to combat that too.

It has taken a long time and a lot of experimentation to find settings I like, and I am still experimenting. So next season they may change.

I started with factory setup, which is very good, and tweaked. That way you learn what suspension parameters actually do, and can decide if you like that effect and see how it changes your lap times.

Buy the book, "Tune to win" by Carroll Smith.
It will explain everything.
