Bilsteins B14's fitted, now where do I need to go for setup?

[v16daf]

Hi,

Dont know if anybody could help me? Been looking around on here and apparently you can get your car set up after fitting coilovers, not an expert at this but some people mention camber bolts and corner weighing?

I live in North Wales and seriously interested in this, ive heard the benefits are big?

Would be willing to travel to Fred at BTW, herd a lot of good work from him? If he does it?

Any help would be great,

Thanks

Fred can help you with supplying the camber bolts, and fitting them.

He has his own special way of doing it (so he says ), he's done it to my car.

Let's just say it'd be worth the trip down from Wales to see him!

I've just been to TDF/Track group for the set-up of my Bilsteins. Great work.

See my thread...

Ok, thanks for this, I fitted the coilovers myself but dont have a clue on camber etc, what is the idea then? Just to have your wheels on more of an angle? Did you bother using corner weighing? I just used a ruler on the actual shock to match em?

That's pretty much what we did when we fitted the coilovers, just whacked the OE bolts back in.

The camber bolts allow for the adjustment to negative camber (what you want).

Nope...didn't bother with corner weighting.

Couple of pics to show sort of what it looks like.

Ahhhaaa, understand now. Do you mind if I ask how much it cost you and if it was worth it? I think the car handles mint allready, could it possibly get even better?

Looks good, cheers for the link. Did you see an improvement?

 

[maynard]

Yeah it gets better!

Not sure as I had some other bits and bobs at the same time, best off speaking to Fred.

Yes. Turn-in is a lot smoother. The car is far less jittery on the whole so i feel more confident cornering.

I also had a whiteline rear arb fitted at the same time so the results can't just be put down to the set-up alone.

Track-Group were great. I had a rough Idea of what it all meant/what I wanted but they explained everything as they went though.

Tidy, thanks Si. Ill contact them as well. 3 hours away but there service sounds brill. Whiteline rear arb sounds like a good mod on this too. Cheers

I also got a nice print-out from them of how they'd set it up. So I can take it to any good alignment place (http://alignmycar.co.uk/) to get it checked over when needed.

Sounds brilliant, think I might as well get an arb the same time, did they supply one for you?

 

[Si]

Yep! The camber bolts were from whiteline too. TDF are a Whiteline supplier iirc.

Fred's good too but he was nasty about my exhaust.

 

[Fred@BTM]

no, Fred was correct about your exhaust, can you give yourself infraction points?

That is excellent, all what I need is in one place . I did see the comment, lol

Having epic taste doesn't warrant infraction points iirc.

 

[Fred@BTM]

i'm calling Gok right now

 

[Si]

I don't see what looking good naked has to do with this. Unless...

 

[Fred@BTM]

he has a show called fashion fix too, and darling, your fashion needs fixing!

 

[Matt W]

It does look pretty rubbish though Si.

 

[v16daf]

Maybe I should change the thread title to Whiteline Arb fitted, discust on the abuse my exhaust gets

 

[Si]

Yer, pipe down haters. Back on topic.

 

[Homer-Simpson]

Fred, how much are the camber bolts and how much will one of your awesome setups cost?

 

[Fred@BTM]

camber bolts are cira £15 for Eibach, setup depends on what you want doing and the time envolved, around £100 upto £150

 

[theduck]

Freds mean about everyones exhausts

I'd still be going to him for suspension setup though.

Do you offer a Whiteline ARB as well Fred?

 

[Curtis!]

Can only say good words about Freds work setting up coilovers!

Did mine and was bang tidy.

considering i was the first person in europe to offer them/i did the first magazine review of them, yes i sell them, i don't shout and scream about what i do/sell, customers who call me and talk to me and becomne aware that way
