I wouldn't shoot for stock geometry, it really isn't that great, but then again, if your not sure of what your doing, then its better than going in the wrong direction. The problem I see with the spindle now is that is has about 12 deg of KPI and only 5 of caster. We always designed our cars to have more caster than KPI since caster helps you with camber gain when turning the wheels on both sides of the car! I'm not sure what 10-15 deg of caster would do to your cross weight transfer though, may have to run some numbers. The biggest improvement would be made by altering your control arm mounting points. You can tweak your camber change in roll and not mess with crazy trail and scrub radius values. From a vehicle dynamics standpoint, anything you can do to get that motor lower, the better. What size of tire and wheel offset are you running?
