it really depends on the pick up points for the suspension

if you are grafting in a sierra floorpan then the points should be the same as the sierra other than the shock absorber turrets

i'm not sure they'll hake a huge difference at the rear but at the front they'd need to be a bit spot on as they can affect camber and caster

go with the sierra settings and then tweak them with adjustable bits and bobs where needed

depends how well you want the car to work. also as to what your definition of settings are? I cant type much more as it will be classed as an add and then removed.

Doesn't really matter as it is all going to be by trial and error anyway.
You have already made the first error = cavalier!!
