Compkart Setups

Hello, I run a 2019 Compkart 4R chassis in the Briggs and Straton lo206 Senior class. I don’t see a lot of things on here for compkart. I just wanted to help people with my experience and people I race against also with a compkart chassis. At my track, the top 3 in lo206 senior are usually compkarts. I will add any details I remember an answer all questions I can.
Just for reference, I’m a skinnier, 160lbs, 6ft 2inch male.

Base Setup (For a tight, track)
Tires: MG Red SH2
Weight Distribution: 43% Front 57% Rear
Rims: Freeline DF 130mm 210mm
Front Spindles: 17mm
Front Width: ? (10mm + 5mm Spacer)
Front Ride Height: Middle
Front Bar: Standard Bar In
Pills: Birel 0.5
Camber: ?
Toe: +1.5 (on the stand)
Seat: Tillett MS (standard flex)
Seat Struts: Yes always (1 on each side)
Brake: CXI28
Rear Axle: Compkart C1.5 (C3.2 on super sticky days with modify setup)
Rear Hubs: 90mm Metal
Rear Width: 53 inches (I use spacers in the hubs)
Rear Ride Height: High (Bottom Hole)
Rear Wheelbase Width: Middle (Center Hole)

Just curious why the high rear ride height at your size?

At the track I race at, Stockholm Karting Center, we need a lot of help turning in so running the ride height high helps with turn in and my seat is on the stiffer side so not as much flex with it.
