just got my new coilovers installed... sadly i dont have a lot of money to get my car professionally tuned... so i was wondering what are some good settings for my camber and caster on my 89' s13

I would like to keep a somewhat neutral set up, a good inbetween of like drift/togue kinda driving.

Suggestion 1: Do not slam car. Any lowering over 2" will require more adjustment than the stock hardware will allow. Ultimately I would suggest right at 2" to not more than 2.5" for lowering.Suggestion 2: Once you have decided on your ride height, get an alignment. You will probably need better tires than you have right now. Once you have achieved adjustability try this:1*-2* neg. camber front and rear, 0 toe and 7* castor up front, 0- 1/8" toe in out back.Suggestion 3: Unless already done, look into replacing the wear items under the chassis. Bushings, ball joints, all the stuff over 10 years old under the car. Actually this should have been the first thing you should have done.
