I have been doing some research into setting up suspension correctly, I have worked out all the maths to calculate things like the roll centres, all 3 centres of gravity, spring rates, ride heights, sprung weight, unsprung weights, Roll bar rates and so on......... but now I dont know what to do with it...I can tell that the roll centres are X inches high, the locations of the centres of gravity, but whats the ideal? does anyone have any real world experience of setting up suspension on GT4s or any other car for that matter????

i don't think there is a formula, your best bet is just to set it at a safe setting then take if for a spin and find what you do like and don't like, i just fitted my coilovers set them all on medium and the rear ARB on medium and i'll then see what i like
