Actually on this occasion I have to say I don't!!!!

I have yet to run the FS2, my car is still the FS (if it's not broken why fix it )

I can give you a few ideas on set-up though and probably get you very very close.
Nick Caro does run the FS2 and essentially our cars are usually basically the same other than;

Nick loves a soft front end ... I mean really soft! Where he often runs #65 yellow front springs in the middle I run them in the outer hole (with the shock eyelets fully wound in to limit front droop a fraction)

Nick runs 120g less weight at the rear (just 60g in the chassis spine) and thus runs a #65 yellow rear spring verses my #68 blue one .... the weight will be coming out of my car for the winter as the only reason it's still there is that I ran out of testing time pre-season and had to play safe.

Shocks try 3B/40wt in the fronts, 3A/30wt in the rears

As far as links are concerned try the following;

Front Longest, 0mm under inner ball stud / 2mm under outer ball stud
Rear as above but 1mm under inner ball stud

Run the car mid wheelbase, spacer in front hubs up (so axle lowest height).

Don't run the ARBs front or rear.

Gearing wise I run my Speed Passion V3.0 6.5R on either a 23 or 24 against the stock 78 spur, 5.5R would be 2 teeth lower.

Stick that on the car and try it in practice and I'm sure you will be impressed
