Camber, toe in, spring & shock setup

My beast is slowly nearing completion, and I'm looking for some advice on camber, toe in (for SVA and after), and how to set up the adjustable springs/shockers. In particular:

1. on a live axle car, is there anything to set on the rear, or only the front?

2. how to approach finding the right setting for the springs (i.e. how tight to tighten up the base)

3. "hardness" setting for the adjustable shocks

4. anything else I should look out for.

Cheers

When my car was 1st assembled the suspension was quite tight and didnt need any damper settings at all!!

Once it loosened up I used about 3 clicks on the back and around 7 clicks on the front.
AVO shocks.....

Camber 1 - 1.5 degrees wouldn't mind a little more..........

Tracking only done by me with string!!!!!

Set parrallel or towing in slightly ( 1/8"?)
