patpong_pete 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 do u do four wheel set up aligment tracking etc.....................say after coilovers fitted set them up correctly Link to post Share on other sites
ventovr6essex1 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 i think he is also looking into getting the equipment needed to carry 4 whhel aligment as i have plenty of experience using a wheel aligner . i know they are very costly the my onld vauxhall main stealer had cost over 10 k . so you can kinda understand why its so expensive to have it done . im sure tracking and a basic camber set up is possible mind Link to post Share on other sites
ventovr6essex1 0 Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Right I am sorting out a deal as we speak with my boss and would like some numbers of people that woukd like to attend . We have not done anything like this before so its going to be a learning curve and we would appreciate people to bear with us. We are looking for around 15 cars and im hoping to get the boss to settle on £20 a car per run. Once I have some numbers we can look to set a date, probably the latter part of july Link to post Share on other sites
