Liam_D Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I run my front camber at -1.5, and my toe at neutral. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Take your car to Christchurch Tyre company. Been there a few times, they know their stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I run -1.2 camber 0 toe and quite positive castor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmsnoel Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 alignment up front is 0.5, +/- 1Its not worth payin for wheel alignment if you allow your technican tolerances of plus or minus 1degree of toe. Dude yes get your alignment reset when you set the axle because they should align your front two wheels to.run.with.your.back two wheels. £20 for laser alignment where they hang the brackets on the rear wheels too!!

smobey_sutton2 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Take your car to Christchurch Tyre company. Been there a few times, they know their stuff. Yeah I've heard they are good, I gave them a call and they said it would be £70-£100. Is that not a bit Steep? It's a hunter system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 If they do a good job then get it done we have one at work it's amazing bit of kit would say if you lived near me you could bring it down and I would do it for free but it would cost you more in fuel getting down to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Got mine done in Protyre Eastleigh for £60! Granted that was not on the coilovers, but they did adjust the camber up front so should be the same price Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smobey_sutton2 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 £20? Every place I've phoned up want £45+ just to set their machine up for the car! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Thats about the going rate man, add a few quid for a modified car. I do a couple of wheel alignments each day and it takes time to set up the machines and put all the kit on the car. Then get it all perfect, + time to check it on the roads.
