Wheel alignment after coilovers install
 
Just installed my coilivers but nowhere can align my car now as they only use manufacturers spec going through tyres like mad now! Does anyone know of anywhere that can actually align them? Lol, already took it too 2 places with no luck amy advice would be much appreciated!

Stew at TFS in Aldershot . Bit of a drive for you though

Austec in Crawley is closer to you than Stew, so may be worth trying as an alternative if you don't want a trip to Aldershot.

They were helpful when I spoke to them, but I endd up using someone else just because it worked out more conveniently when I was having tyres changed.

Abbey Motorsport and they are not very far, have done a few Evo's for friends lately and they have all been happy

How about Slow Boy Racing at Brands Hatch, easy to get to from Tunbridge Wells.

Steve_PPP 20-12-2016 10:59 AM

Or SMD (Southern Motor Developments) in Newhaven if you're looking for options. Did my geo setup when I went with coilovers :)

No, he's still there, but doesn't do alignment/geo stuff.

I had mine done (after coilover install) at MTMC in Tonbridge. 01732 369888, http://www.mtmctyres.co.uk/ after recommendation from a couple of people in the Sevenoaks club.

Having said that, I wasn't desperately impressed when they said they couldn't get the amount of camber I wanted on the front, as they hadn't thought to use the coilover adjustable top mount to change it!

Abbey Motorsport in Oxted might be worth a call too.

Reece_sti 20-12-2016 09:33 PM

Thanks guys, ive already tried a few of the places mentioned going to try the rest tomorrow! So i need to find someone a bit more specialist for the alignment, as everywhere only does too manu spec! Ive already took it too other places with no luck infact its now worse then ever! Pulling hard top the left but camber is the only thing spot on lol strange, any thoughts?

Simon-Sti 21-12-2016 10:07 AM

Will need to get mine done too, Abbey motorsport in Oxted looks good as they have the Hunter system :)

Reece_sti 22-12-2016 10:06 PM

Banstead Stig 23-12-2016 06:42 AM

How much did they charge for the geo and how long did it take?

Reece_sti 08-01-2017 09:10 PM

Was about 200 but i got them too adgust my coilovers aswell too a fast road setup which increased the price, but the handling is 10 times better then before, was there about 4 hours but had other work done aswell. Cant wait for summer at brands!!
