Default Track Crew Survey: tire temps and suspension settings

Can we please provide this information so I can hopefully set my car up right, the first time?
spring rate:
ride heights:
camber:
caster:
toe:
whee & tire width:(no 15x9 6UL, no care)
inside-out temp variation measured with a probe (not laser): x/x/x

Thanks,
Hustleratronicon

Every time I've decided to measure tire temperatures, my car blows up.

Here's what I run:
- Tein Flex 9kg/6kg springs
- 12.5" ride height front and rear
- -1.7 front / -1.4 rear camber (with me in car)
- 5 deg caster
- 1/32" toe IN all around
- 8 clicks front / 9-10 clicks rear (from full hard setting)
- 30 PSI (hot) all around RS2 225/45-15 tires 6UL 15x8" wheels
