Set up for tein pillowball top mounts.

[sammysideways]

Ok fitted coilovers at the weekend along with some tein pillowball top mounts at the front, now i just need to set them up for s13.
Anyone have a rough idea of there settings for an s13, want a little bit of camber to dial out understeer but not so much i eat tyres.
Can anyone help??

Ive got mine set at 2 degs on the front but unless you have a camber gauge you wont be able to set them up acurately.

 

[sammysideways]

no way from doing it by the gauge thing on the top mount itself then??

anywhere decent down south to get camber, tracking set up and adjusted??

the gauge mounts ontop are never very acurate unfortunatly, so you can have what appears to be equal settings on the camber plate, but when you actually measure it, it's 1.5 degrees out..

Camber doesnt really eat tyres unless you go to silly extreme's. Its Toe that kills tyres..

get it properly laser aligned one of my top mounts is about 10mm more in than the other but i still have 2.5 digrees on both sides

well at mo, passenger side inner tyre is getting eaten and on the drivers side the outer part of tyres getten eaten ...expected it really after fitting new suspension.

should have it sorted, how much should i pay for tracking to be checked and camber adjustment

 

[ant]

bout 80 quid for 4 wheel laser alignment

 

[sammysideways]

does that include them altering camber setting etc??

where dids you get yours done ant??
