I own an S13 240sx in real life that sees autocrosses, drift events and driving schools. It has coilovers and adjustable control arms which I've spent 3 years fiddling with, so I know a little bit about what works in real life but have a hard time translating it into a true GT4 simulation. I came up with these settings to simulate an average but well rounded Silvia example, fairly similar to mine but a bit more powerful and better equipped. I think it works as a good baseline for simulating most FR cars as well.

Semi-Racing Flywheel
1.5 Way LSD
Spring Rate: 8.0F 6.0R
Mine are 6.0/5.0. 8.0/6.0 seems most common on mid to top end coilovers, and is probably on the ragged edge of streetability.
Ride Height: 127F 127R
5 inches, my exact ride height from ground to frame. Not as low as most real cars I see, but it keeps it off the bumpstops, great for places like the Nordschleife.
Shock Absorbers: 7F 7R
Mine are 16 click adjustable. I run them at 12 front and rear at competitions and at 4 around town. Fiddle with the values, but I try to keep it between 5 and 9, as well as equal front and rear. If you have racing suspension use less bound than rebound.
Camber Angle: 1.5F 1.0R
Actual values from my last alignment. I wish GT4 showed tire temps across the tread surface and wear patterns, which are the only real ways to test and optimize camber.
Toe: I still haven't figured this out. My real values are 1/16" OUT in front and 1/8" IN at the rear. 0/0 works fine too if you're not sure.
Stabilzers: 2F 2R
No idea how strong this is, but I like to keep them soft for curb hopping, plus the body roll adds realism. Anything much harder feels unrealistically stiff.
All driving aids off, of course.
