Should I Get A New Wheel Aligment After Loweringsprings?

Featured Replies

When fitting lowering springs in the front it should increase chamber.. wouldnt it?

So do I really need a wheel aligment (spelling?) ?

If anyone knows, whats the original aligment setup? toe-in, caster, chamber dive and so on .. for the RS?

How much more chamber do you think I should have ?

For faster turnin and more grip on trackdays and so on...

Don't know original settings... or optimum settings.... but I guess getting an alignment done would be a good idea. Dont know where you are based but if you are near Micheldever i would recommend going there - you can tell them what sort of setup you are after and they can make the adjustments for you there and then :)

Mattias,

Yes you should get it checked. I have the settings at home (they are from the dealer workshop manual). I can put the numbers up tonight if you want.

The camber is fixed so you can't do anyting about it.

Are you sure?

Yes

Getting a full wheel alignment check carried out could be cheaper than finding out from tyre wear that the alignment is wrong.

I was wrong its caster that can't be adjusted :rolleyes: serves me right for going from memory.

Just going to put copies of the workshop data sheets in another thread.

BEWARE THEY WILL NOT BE DIAL UP FRIENDLY!

Yes! I mean No! Yes... I don't know.:D

yup - mkIV platform is fixed

probably thrown out the tracking good & proper though - bed the springs in for a week & get the alignment done.
