Suspension set up??

[Vish]

Is any set up needed after fitting springs, kits or coilovers or can they all be used straight from the Box and be ok.

If not, what needs to be done for:

Springs only

Kits (springs and shocks)

Coilovers

 

[Jay Payne]

springs = toe (tracking)
coilovers = ride height, camber and toe

 

[Vish]

Tracking is cheap and at most services places isn't it?

Setting up coilers quite expensive then?

 

[Jay Payne]

mine cost me £35 for ride height and £80 for camber and toe. was done at a pucker motorsport specialist.

as long as the ride height is set right (you can do this yourself but id set mine too low at the front) then your local protyre or similar can adjust tracking and camber. You just need to ask if theyan mesure cmbr wth heir kit thn give them the settings if u want it different from stock (ie, more negative camber)

Ah cheers mate, top post.

Everything I needed to know, now just need to see how much I can save up for suspension once I sort a 172 out.
