Setting up aftermarket suspension.

Hey guys just wondering if anybody can give advice on setting up the Z suspension wise.

 

Ride height needs to ideally sit chassis rails 100mm or more from the ground.

 

From there the alignment guys will let me do the tweaks myself, i have got adjustable front and rear traction arms, adjustable front and rear camber, and adjustable rear toe arms (n/a subframe, no hicas), also have rear subframe lock collars. the coilovers are body adjustable BC red's, body adjustable so i can change ride height seperate to the spring pre load.

 

I've read a fair bit of suspension stuff regarding ride height and the effects of having your lower arm mount aligned with the lower ball joint centre etc.

 

Really what i want is a high grip set up, ideally try tune a bit of understeer out of it, but i suspect thats going to require beefing up the rear sway bar.

 

At the end of the day i guess small tweaks will be required but with the changed ride height i figured setting factory camber etc wouldn't be of much use to me?

 

Figured i'd throw it out there anyway.

 

Cheers.

Don't know how relevant this info is...

 

2+2 n/a auto in an '89 TT chassis

 

Front rims are 17x8 running 215/45

 

Rear are a 18x10 running 285/40 toyo proxes t1R's

 

Unsure on offset but can look later if anybody needs the info to guide me further.

 

Also looking at going up to a 235 on the fronts.
