-2.2 front camber (7 degrees caster)
-1.8 rear camber
0 rear toe
1/16" front toe out each side (turns in nicely)
This was the recommendation I received from Goodwin racing when I bought my JIC coilovers.
I feel that some of the tighter course require more negative camber on the front

From what I have heard, too much negitive front chamber -1.8 or more, is not helping the handeling and you start to lose traction when braking. I had my car corner balanced and aligned by a very knowledgeable racer/engineer/mechanic who also races an RX8. He did everything with a bubble guage and tape measures and set my camber at F-1.5, R-1.75. Toe in was 0 in front and rear was 2/32 or 3/32, I dont remember the caster setting. The little extra toe in (IIRC stock settign was 1/32???) really helped my car rotate on the high speed turns but it never felt too loose.

I play with the tire pressure as well and with my 245/40/18 NTO1 tires I found 34 PSI rear and 32 PSI cold front worked about the best. Any lower and the car felt like it wiggles and much higher did not have as much grip.

It's only overrated for people who think their RX-8 is pulling max cornering Gs when in fact it isn't

that's not what I was referring to
