adjustable suspension arm questions - s13
posted in suspension tech but decided i would get a faster answer here
so i have all around adjustable arms for my s13
front and rear lower control
rear upper camber
rear traction
rear toe
front tie
when i install each one of these arms, should i measure the stock length, set them the same length, and install? then possibly go with professional tuning?
i would like to adjust, hince the reason i bought them.
how much is too much of an increment to adjust them?
i dont want to completely screw up the handling by adjusting them too much.
setup is for drift/daily
thanks in advance!

I would reccomend taking it to XAT and having somebody that knows what they're doing set it up on the alignment rack, and get it corner weighted at the same time.
I've seen HUGE gains when using the front lowers in combination with tension rods, etc.
Where did you get your front lowers from, what brand, and how much?

That is what i really wanted to do. Do you know pricing?
Im wondering what i can do for now while i work my way up to the professional tune.
I still need to be able to drive it but was wondering if slightly adjusting each arm, measuring and such, would hurt more then help?
p.s. im on 15x7 also... dont know if im going to upgrade anytime soon

I measure my tc rods I thought pretty well However when I got it aligned it was 10.0 Castor on the right and 8.6 on the left! lol Take it to xat for sure!!
Just make sure you measure for toe at minimum you don't want to be screeching down the street!!
