no offence intended but just because they deal with motorsport doesnt mean they do yours as they would one of their cars, and this laser allignment could just mean your wheels all point the same way
it may handle better (id guess because of coilovers not the height) but IMHO the only way you can be sure they are set up right is to either have a team tweaking the settings or to actually know what your doing and set it up yourself
but i have neither
,
but then im happy with the way my car handles, and i strongly doubt that anyones car on here is set up right, but then again aslong as the owner is happy with the way their car handles then isnt that the point of modifying your own car.......
it just annoys me when people say their cars quicker because its lower as to them it feels "sportier" which doesnt mean its quicker!
and as for the point about looking at rally cars, well you must be joking! you cant just look and say "ooh they have bigger wheels and sit lower on tarmac", they spend lots of £££ using "professional experts" to set up the "suspension" for each race, not just to choose bigger wheels and lower height, you cant just assume itll transfer over to your car, did you change your gearing for bigger wheels?
"If you simply want to lower your car to improve looks fair play to you. It will look sh*t, but each to their own"
lol, everyone will modify their car to what they want from it and how they want it to look and i understand that, just dont say its a lot better because its lower without any proof, ie objective times, not subjective "well it feels better"
