getting wheels aligned after lowering

[whileoceanasleeps]

i went to a garage to get the tracking done now my new suspension has worn in and the guy told me he couldn't do it cos he needed to know the new specifications? I have no idea what I'm supposed to tell him?

Thanks very much for your time I will take it somewhere else thank you.

aha so i need to take it somewhere they know what they're doing

I think that would be a good idea.

TBH you want everything stock, but with -0.5 degrees camber on the front.

also... bear in mind that a lower suspension will have different settings

My car is as low as yours or maybe a little more lower.

Most people who track cars, can only align your car to factory settings, but some out there can alter the factory settings, which in your case would be ideal if it's that low.

Also do you just want tracking doing, or do you need caster/camber too?

When I got my car tracked, the front wheels tocuhed the inner arch when Turning, that is when I got the the factory settings altered, to enable me to keep my car low and not touch on the inside.

Type this in google: "align Dudley" their based in Dudley

i think i just need alignment, when i drive it pulls to the left slightly. i was told changing suspension screws with the alignment anyway, don't think i need camber/caster. like yours mine rubs the inner arch on full lock but some arch rolling will solve that i think, i suppose changing the camber on yours stopped the rub?

so what would happen if they aligned the car with the factory settings? cheers all

If they align with the factory settings, and your is low, it will touch on the inner arch, but like u say, If u roll your arches, you may get away with it,

Or the other option is, get your front wheels at a slant, not much, jus by abit, so it don't touch when you turn

would you be able to recommend some settings (toe and camber)? then I can just go to the garage and tell them what I need. what did you do on yours? my bro said -1.5 may be ok?
