Wheel alignment

[Bluebeard]

Decided to take the plunge and go for some new coilovers I'm hearing the b14s are very popular where would be the best place to source these from ? Also after a wider stance but nothing silly so was thinking 20 mm spacers on the front but not sure about the back is that usually the same size spacer or do people go a bit less ? Any feedback with people who have a good road setup would be appreciated

B14's are a fantastic road Coilover. I really really enjoyed them.

Although I did have a PMS Rear anti Roll bar also.

Yeah I had b14's and they were great. The rear anti roll bar I took off and actually preferred it. Wether it was the money back in the bank or it just seemed better.

Shop by how much care you think they'll take.

A good alignment is 10% equipment 90% attention to detail.

Kwik fit might have hunter alignment kit but probably couldn't give a monkeys. Meanwhilte lots of professional race teams still get good enough results with string (not as daft as it sounds) because they do it with a lot of care and attention.

I'm not sure what it's set at dude. Just set it so I can carry bare bitchezzzzzz around without it scraping. But never works because they're always large.

Hahaha my missus is skinny so doesn't matter

So I need to get it set to -1.45 degree camber and +10 toe so that's +5 toe each side ?

I'm getting some replacement front springs fitted on Friday so the car will be going for a front alignment Saturday morning.

I don't believe I'm running adjustable bolts on the front, does this mean I won't be able to run the above settings?

Thanks.

No you will need bolts.
