how ya lads fitzy here need a bit of help with the set up of my s 13 180 what should the castor camber and toe be set at on front and what should camber and toe be at the rear,and what are the best tires for front greatful for any help

[jeff nelson sileighty]

well lad your supension set up is very much upto yourself so its very hard to recommend what set up would suit your driving style its something you just have to fiddle with till your comfortable but as for tyres on the back it depends on what power youre running but on the front id recommend bridgestone potenza rs001's but im sure youll get plenty of other reccomendations.... hope that helps a bit

I'm sure there's a lot on here with access to alignment machines so an idea of what angles different cars run would help

im running

up front
camber 4*
toe 0
caster 7*40''

rear
camber .9*
traction -5mm from standard
toe 2mm each side

first time i had ever got the car properly lined and im now wondering why i never did it sooner. transition ease and speed improved, feel threw the steering wheel was great and i could noticably feel the difference in grip, seemed to just pull me out of corners. its hard to explain but in ennis practice i had to look behind me the first couple of runs because i thought rob was pushing me threw the last two corners (he has been known to getting 'close' at times) mayb sounds stupid but thats how i felt at the time lol

[fitzygtr]

fair play lad thanks for your help.

much the same but less toe on the back. As for tyres 225/45/17 marix decent grip out of them.
