Default Alignment question for an EG civic.

Having taken the suspension apart, I am forced to do an alignment- again. This is my "setup". If you want to call it that.

'92 hatch
GSR brakes all around
Eibach Road Race Springs
Tokicos adjustables
15" x 6" rims
205/50/15 Bridgestone Re010
No camber kit
No swaybars

I need to get a decent aligment that won't prematurely wear out tires but also offer good handling characteristics. I'm hoping to take the car out for a last lapping day of the season on the 14th- before we get snow.

Thanks for all opinnions,
Paul

1/16" toe out front and rear and if you have height adjustability, lower it about 2" at the track.

All you will be able to adjust is your toe & shock settings. Since I know nothing about your driving experience.....set toe to 0 front & back. Start with shocks 4 front, 3 rear. Adjust rear higher to get more rotation. Increase rear pressure ,in relation to front, to get more rotation. Do one thing @ a time.

Have fun. Hope that helps.
