Yeah mate looking to get it all done.

Got camber bolts ? Rears don't have any. Caster cannot be adjusted. So your effectively paying for toe front and back and camber on the front IF you have camber bolts.
I went to JamSport and they're severely overpriced. Why didn't you go back if it didn't feel right ? I did and they re-aligned FOC.
I can suggest Corby Tyres in Corby. They have a hunter system. Quoted me 90 + VAT for Toe and camber front and back on the CTR.
So for toe and front camber, you'd be looking about 60-70 + VAT at a guess.
+1
And make sure the donkeys don't just get it in the green in the middle and then talk balls**t about the overall toe and camber. You want EXACTLY the same both sides.

Piad £60 to have camber, tracking and ride height set up after i fitted my coilovers. was happy with that
Cheers guys.
Yeah mate camber bolts are up the front was told I needed them to get the camber correct.
Just getting it done and they have told me they cant do camber because of how low it is. Sorting the toe out which was -0.20 and -0.15 camber is -3 and -1.3 castor is a mile out as well but im guessing that could be because of camber being out?
f**king useless i wanted it to be driving normally after today.

Who did you go to ?
You can adjust the camber bolts from under the car, so it being low won't make any difference. Why is it so far out if you have just had it done at JamSport ? I don't understand, has the camber bolt come loose ?

F1 up sixfields lol.
I haven't just had it done at jamsport I did after getting the coilovers fitted then I had my balljoints changed recently for an mot.
Yep been there before and had perfect work done but I think the lad doing it was useless (he looked like a mong)

Mistake number one, not following advice.. I jest.
Would rather go Tyres Northampton in Sixfields than there.
Have they gave you a print out ? Whats your after figures.

Camber is 0.5 and 3 degrees.
Caster is 1.5 and 3 degrees by that print-out. I agree, it's a mess! I can see why your annoyed with that service.
Hopefully when the camber is corrected properly the caster will be more equal too, but as you say, it's not adjustable so not quite sure why i'ts 3 degrees on the off side. ??? Are both lower arms the same?
Will be fine once someone who knows what they're doing has set it up.

As far as I'm aware mate everything is the same yes.
Noticed I got mixed up with camber and caster so just posted the printouts lol.
Yeah I pretty much paid £40 for nothing other than toe adjustment then he tried palming me off with some bulls**t that there must be a special tool to adjust the camber to which my response was no you don't as it has camber bolts and other garages have managed with simple tools. Got a s**tty mumble back and he was showing attitude so I paid a and left before I lost my temper with him.
I'm just hoping there isn't something broken putting the caster out but as long as all that looks rectifiable I'm happy.
Edit- also after going down to jam sport to see what they was going to charge to sort it out they told me that the garage I went to has a slightly wonky ramp if this is true it could explain the extreme difference in the camber? He said a few people have had to have there alignment redone after being there.

True. Emperors new clothes mentality. It's expensive so it must be good!
A fool & his money...
Just had it all done at Northampton Motorsport and its all bang on now except front caster is miss matched at the front not being adjustable its obviously something bent.
Would caster being about 1.5 degrees out make a difference? They told me it's not really going to effect the handling.
