What's the ideal suspension setup for a front wheel drive track day car?

Race as in compete, nope. But I intend to set fast lap records with it and still be able to drive it normally on the street. I'm thinking more on the line of a touring car setup. I want a quick handling car setup, quick take off, max speed can be the last priority.

You would need to lower car, increase spring rate and shock rate.

Check TRD (Toyota racing development) to see if they have suspension upgrades.

Thanks, I guess I should just zero out the camber and toe, right? Or maybe set.5 degree camber on all wheels?
