Generally speaking slicks like slightly lower pressures than street tires. You can tweak tire pressures to balance understeer/oversteer. For understeer decrease front pressure or increase rear pressure, take note of resulting tire temps and wear patterns. Reverse for oversteer.
Coilovers:
2-way adjustable is nice for fine tuning a setup but is probably overkill for a novice.
Sway bars:
Stillen, Hotchkis, Whiteline, all adjustable. The Stillen is a little more compliant, the Hotchkis is the stiffest.
Alignment:
This is what I run, your mileage may vary.
Front
Camber -3.5
Toe -0.02
Rear
Camber -2.0 (would like -1.8 but don't have the longer arms)
Toe -0.10

the coils are over kill but id rather have to much than too little with them. thanks for the alignment specs. as for looking at the tire temps what am i looking for?
Cossie those where cold temps not hot. i fogot to check them hot. they were around 40 2-3 hours after a race. i would think theyd have to go down a hair. but im new this.
