I just imported a JDM 1992 Silvia,
Later this week, i am ordering some Federals
and i need to get my car aligned for the new tires

I was told that i need the settings to have it set as when i take the car in.
so does anyone have any settings?

I believe its caster, toe, camber, and roll center...but not totally to sure.

thanks in advance!

i HIGHLY doubt that any shop is gonna adjust roll center......

you can get alignment specs from the FSM....just search for the FSM

those are SOME of the settings i know...

EDIT: what is FSM
I am really new
