quick coillie / geo lowering question.

[vince172]

car currently sitting like:

want to lower the front another 10-15mm

all the geometery has been set up, as it is now.would it really need doing again after a 10mm drop or would the geo still be pretty much the same??

anyone?

Officially - it would need doing.

In reality - probably not.

 

[vince172]

it cost me in the region of £65 last time, so if it was something i could get away with doing i would be happy!!

The main thing that will be affected (AFAIK) will be the camber so long as you don't remove the struts to adjust them. This could result in increased tyre wear, but to be honest I doubt it would amount to much, if anything at all.

yes it would change the whole set up in theory but you wont really feel much of a difference aslong as you lower it by equal amounts on both sides.

 

[vince172]

cool, 10mm here I come!

cheers guys

I doubt it will make a difference, but was told if you take the wheels off then the tracking will be out. I am still driving around without the tracking and wheel alighnment done, cos i am waiting for my H&R's to settle, to make sure I am happy with the height.

Main thing will be the toe out,
The more you lower the more toe out you get,Keep an eye on the inside edges of the tyres.
