Hi, I've read some threads about alignment spec for s13 lately and I am a bit confused by different answers.

My question is pretty simple and hopefully some s13 guru can help me out.

Does a s13 better to have more camber up front to reduce understeer, or more camber at the rear to gain grip at corner?...

Somesay s13 is better have to more camber up front, but some say RWD car should always have more camber at the back to gain more control.

Hope you guys can give me some advise because I am about to do my alignment soon!

Thank you very much :)

DD and Canyon, light track day once in a while.

Mess around drift few minutes before cops come...

So ya, a normal street 240 I would say :)

Thanks!

What tires are on your car? As well as what sizes.

What suspension mods do you have?

You can try adding camber. As well as taking out some toe in the rear.

I am currently running 205 all around but thinking to go staggered 225 front and 245 rear.

Have Megan Coilover right now but will switch to Koni + GC setup.

I was just wondering what is the most common camber setup for s13 for grip, is the camber should be more up front or in the back?

Thanks a lot :D

sport settings
-1.5 front camber

0 toe front/rear
max front caster
