Yeah a li.l Maybe you forgot to default something, I dunno, but it seems strange.

Go to the track and start testing! It's the best way to figure out how it works and what serves your driving style... You can pick up some things around here, but all theoretical, just drive! Try the highest ride height front and rear and write down laptimes, then do the same with the lowest ride height... if the car feels bad, just change the ride height! Increase both spring rates 5.0 points and take the car on the track! Feels fastern and drivers better? Lower the spring rates again... Oversteer? Understeer? Toe angle try rear between -0.3 (oversteer) and +0.3 (stability/understeer)... front it's almost the same -0.3(better turn in) +0.3 (understeer on entry/oversteer on exit)...
If you're looking for tunes then you're on a good way, you're even in the tuning forum! GTPlanet is probably the biggest GT5 tune collection in the web!

this is keepin it simple and i think most knowledgable people will agree.
1st lowering ride height doesn't change spring rate.
springs -by increasing spring rate you keep body roll minimized thus making the car turn more predictable. the only factors you need to keep in mind is the weight of the car and if the track is flat or rough. lighter cars don't need as stiff springs. if the track is rough(dips,bumps) you need to soften the springs to keep the tires planted. general rule for flat tracks(10-13). or enogh to get the body roll out.
ride height - lowers center of gravity. as low as you can get without bottoming out. -15 is safe place to start. if the track is rough you need a higher ride height. the stiffer the springs are, the lower you can get away with
shocks - generally matched to springs. stiffer the springs, stiffer the dampers.
camber- yes, fr cars benefit from camber. the only time you wouldn't want it is if you never cornered. generally 1.5 to 2.5
