Title: 4 wheel alignment settings.
Post by: boosted on April 16, 2012, 07:19:08 PM
Just fitted and lowered my car using coilovers. Gonna get 4 wheel alignment done in a couple of days once everything is bedded in and i\'m happy with the height...my questions is this just use the settings on the machine or is there any    proven settings avaible to improve handling more?:3gears-rh

On stock shockers the handling at mo is night an day compared to the coilovers...its really bad now back end is so jittery on 255!\'s. Ive just changed a rear control arm and lower arm but they were measured and set on fitting....
Standard all set to -1 but now lower, .... value will change to correct?  It \'s on a machine ive had good results with Monday so will see. what they come up with.
thanks for help....:D

Set the rear with 1mm combined toe IN and it will calm the high speed handeling down , don\'t go silly with the camber the bigger the wheel 17"-18" the less camber

Wow!!! :driving just got back from a spirited drive after alignment....local Challenge tyre guys done a 4 wheel align and the handling is sublime now! £60.00 and you get a before and after print out, they\'ve got it bang in the middle in the green on all settings.  Bring on the 28th when i put her round Castle Combe for the first time!
