Title: How soon do you need your tracking sorted?
Post by: nathanpotato on 23 August 2011, 16:53: Hi well i finally got round to lowering my car last week however im still not sure on what height i want? How soon do i need to get the tracking and camber etc sorted?

Im planning on a 70mile round trip on the weekend not that far but is that going to mess my tires up?

Donâ€™t fancy having to shell out for 4 new tires :wink: . How long did you guys leave it before you got your tracking done? Thanks

Was a decent one actually. I say bald, one half was bald and one side had about 6mm tread. :grin:
