4 wheel alignment in the coventry/warwickshire area?

[spirez]

I've got my coilovers on but it's not set up properly and i want to get a 4 wheel laser alignment so it handles how it should. anyone know where to go around Coventry/Warwickshire or even the cov side of birmingham where i can go?

I've heard stealth racing do it for around £80 and i'm sure they'd do a good job but is there anywhere else?

you could try lazerlign at kilsby, they did mine top notch
they usually only do trucks but they managed my car just fine (i know them)
but there is no harm in asking

 

[benji&eka]

they can do wheel alaignment and full steering geometry

You got a contact number mate?

With the 4 wheel align what do they actually do? And what's the best way to have it set up?

I was thinking to have the back 10mm higher than the front, sound about right?

Oh, how much did they charge?

Cheers

dunno 'bout ride height i set mine and took it down
but they set toe and camber on mine
cost is depending on what you want done
like i said they are truck based, however the only companies in this area i trust are lazerlign and northampton motorsport
i went for 14minutes toe out and 1.5 degrees negative camber
i've set my ride height slighlty ass up LOL
corner weighting would have to be done at northampton motorsport (i've not bothered yet)
but as far as wheel alaignment is concerned no one knows more than my man at lazerlign i use them both proffesionally and with my own cars
dunno 'bout cost. like i said i know 'em

don't go near Stealth

if you want it done properly, go to Northampton Motorsport (45min from you)

they're not cheap, but you get what you pay for!

do they set corner weights as well as the four wheel alignment

 

[Fred@BTM]

yes but thats extra, remember its takes around 3 hours to do a full corner weight and alingment setup

for the full corner weight + alingment, you're looking at around £200

for just alingment you're looking at around £80 i believe

 

[spirez]

What specidically is corner weighting and what does it achieve? I'm guessing it involves weights or weighing at each corner, lol.

My mate mentioned he could get this done but i didn't really know what he was on about. He works at Race Shack in tewkesbury.

I asked him if they did 4 wheel alignment and he said know, surely he's wrong if they can do corner weights?

Fred how do you set the the height on yours? Get it done professionally or do it yourself?

 

[Fred@BTM]

i set it myself, but i have a lot of experience in setting them up

corner weighting, the car is basically weighed at all four corners to figure out weght distribution on each corner, then the suspension can be adjusted to make the balance perfect
