Fitting Sportlines - What do I need to do now?

[Martin.]

So yeah I'm fitting my Eibach Sportlines soon. I don't really understand the difference between laser alignment, tracking, or geometry.

Would do I need to do after fitting new springs?

Can anyone recommend a decent place in the Croydon, Surrey area?

Only place I know of is Kwik Fit and I REALLY don't want to take my car there.

Cheers

firstly don't panic bout the alignment straight away, leave it for a few weeks then get it checked

see if you have a protyre near you

Even if I have got a track day next Friday Fred ?? I was under the impression would need to get it sorted by then. Is it alignment I need and not a geometry set up then.

Cheers

Alignment unless you have camber bolts etc fitted

 

[Fred@BTM]

alignment, geo, tracking - all the same crap with different names

i wouldn't bother until after the track day, tyre wear won't exactly be an issue

Ok cool thanks

I fitted pro kit and my car started eating rear dampers. I went through 6 in 6 months. Even though people say you should not have problems I did so just bare it in mind.

My problem only went away after I fitted koni rear shocks. No leaks and rides much better.
