Coilovers - standard, do i need alighmeant again?

[DrR]

As above? Might sell my Vmaxxs and go back to standard.

 

[Slammed172]

I assume so, because the strut won't go back in the exact same place, and i assume toe has been adjusted to suit the coilover height.

 

[DrR]

Arg!

Need to find somewhere decent to do it then.

 

[Slammed172]

Go back to where you went before, they sound cheap, just make sure they do it right this time, saying that, they won't be able to f**k up the camber, as its non adjustable on the standard strut.

 

[DrR]

I'm not going back to Demon Tweeks, w**k TBH.

 

[Da]

Didn't Tweeks do it? Did they not do it correctly?

*edit* you posted, lol!

 

[DrR]

They did it twice and still couldn't get the wheel straight.

 

[Da]

Amateurs!

How much was it, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[DrR]

£58, car drives well, just the wheel is off centre.

 

[Da]

Very strange. I paid double that and it's bang on

As the wheel is off centre, is that the caster that's out??

 

[DrR]

Not got a clue!

Birchdown did it without all the fancy equipment on my 172 and it was bang on.

As the wheel is off centre, is that the caster that's out??

Probably an excuse a company would use. However its perfectly fixable without caster adjustment.

Even bloody Kwik Fit can get the wheel straight! Take it somewhere that's got Hunter four wheel alignment.

 

[DrR]

Hunter?

I think i have a local place in mind, hate having stuff done to my car, Birchdown is the only place i've been that seams to get it spot on.

 

[TimR26]

You can find the nearest place on here http://www.alignmycar.co.uk/

I'm taking mine to a local garage off alignmycar and they're charging me £80 for my coils setting up properly.

Do you only have to get them set up once ? or do they kind of work loose / go slack and need doing again ?

 

[TimR26]

I went to Merityre near me in Hook and they charged £35 for alignment and camber.

 

[Slammed172]

BARGAIN ON ZEE CENTURY ATOUBA !!!! I paid 4x that and i still think that was a good price.

 

[ForceIndia]

I get my alignment done free using the hunter stuff.

 

[TimR26]

I had it setup before Oulton Park trackday last month and even got free recheck and adjustment after

Here's a link showing there locations http://www.merityre.co.uk/find_a_centre.htm

 

[jayxx83]

hunter alignment is the only way.

 

[Peperami]

From experience mine handled like a crab without alignment done, far worse than dropping it and not doing alignment. Was almost undriveable when i took coilovers off!

 

[DrR]

Well tweeks has that equipment and they failed.
