Question Chasis setup

I have upgraded my suspension components for road racing but need help on initial setup.
I installed the flaming river rack, tubular front control arms w/ carrera coil overs from Bethania garage. The rear has 13" 200lb. springs w/Pro SM600 shocks. I am currently running front & rear CR upgraded sway bars but plan on testing with the GT rear sway and disconnecting the front.
My questions are as follows:
1. How do determine the correct ride height for best cornering. I've heard that lower doesn't always mean better.
2. Any recommendations on Toe-in/out, caster and camber?
3. Should the front lower control arm be parallel with the ground?
4. Should the frame be parallel to ground?
5. My rear end seems to sit high but the the jacks are at their lowest position.
6. I don't have the equipment to weigh the corners, do you have any suggestions?
Hope there aren't too many questions but I am just tired of getting passed on the turns. Maybe I just need a larger set of web..*(*))._
