adjustable suspension pieces will give your suspension adjustability it never had stock, but you have to wonder why its so far out of spec. Did your car have an accident in its past? If so you may want to look into correcting possible frame damage.

Just to let you know that S13s have higher caster values than most other cars, so your mechanic may have not been familiar with the values. Also, I was talking to PDM and they told me that the caster values are often different from each side. However, I saw some adjustable tension rods off of ebay for about $100.
