So i got the car finally aligned at work today ( i work in a tyre shop).

After going through the Z32/R32 settings ( as our computer didn't have S13 settings), we thought we'd give it our own speccies.. so heres the stats.

Front Camber : 2.0degrees NegativeFront Castor : 7.0 degrees PositiveFront Toe : 1.1mm positive ( z32/r32 recommends 0.9mm)Rear Camber : 1.5degrees Negative.Rear Toe in : 0.9 ( i have hicas, so we went with the z32 settings)

Went for a nice track setup, i want 2.5 degrees on the front, but hafta resetup my castor and toe again, so couldn't be bothered today. As most know my car is extremely dumped, so my rear camber went out to 3.6 negative, thats why i hadda change it..

Alignment specs sound good. Did you notice any increased under/oversteer?Because my rear also has extreme camber, kind of like you mentioned you had, but my front is not nowhere near as bad as my rear. I'm thinking my car understeers so much because the rear negative camber is so much greater than the front is. Hopefully I will be able to correct it once I finally get an alignment

I found last night it's over steering perfectly.. it's awesomely setup. before it was kinda under steering due to the fact of 0 camber at the front and negative 3 at thew rear, but it feels really good now.

Yeah thats what I was asking about. Mine is setup something like that right now(0 in front, extreme in rear) and I can't get it to oversteer at all, only at high speed pulling the e-brake. Guess its time for me to go get an alignment.

Thats pretty weird, as mine would let go while on boost and gear changing, the *** would just come straight out. thats cause there wasn't enough tread on the ground. now it's good, it hooks up very well.
