Alright peeps, bet your sick of this lol but anyway..... I'm thinkin of some hottuning coilovers but What exactly else do i need to do when i fit them? Cambers?.... What prices am i looking at to get the bits sorted after i've put them on.
And can i do the extra bits myself?
Cheers.

my quessing will be " use the search function " :grin:
-
like the funnythingy said..... :laugh:
oh an its all in the maintenence section
-
read your lowering guide boney....
So the tracking needs doing, how do i alter the camber tho? And is it nessasary?
-
a decent trye place can sort both tracking and camber (not ats and the like tho!!) and your wheels will be cockeyed if you dont get it done (and handling will suffer!!)
-
get it done properly too, laser alignment,

:wink:

Thanks...
Any idea how much it will cost me? to get the tracking and camber done? at maybe National Tyres and Autocare?
Cheers m8.
-
time for the yellow pages or click the link chuff posted (as most places don't do camber adjustment! oh and if it's low you'll need to find a floor level ramp!)
-
probs only have it lowered around 60mm all round maybe.. not sure as i dont really know what rims i want... really want some nice deep dish rims if anyone has any??..
-
60mm is nothing lol! Your best bet it to get the camber and tracking done when you are happy with the level your sat at, and that would include waiting until your wheels are on, depending on how long it takes for you to get them. Problem you'll have is if you get some wheels and some low profile tyres for example, and you want to lower the car more after camber and tracking are done, you'll need to get it done again...do it properly...but do it once :)

As above, well worth waiting until your happy with the ride height.

cheers guys, think i'll wait til i get a nice set of deep dish rims then...
but many thanks.

Also worth replacing both front and rear top mounts with new.
-
