-60 at the place i went to they had one of those ramps that sunk in to the floor so as long as it can get down the road it would get on then just did laser allignment for £29 front and back :)

EDIT: sorry read it wrong ;) i thought you meant to get on the ramps. still got his gear on it though :)

There's a place in Springburn I took the corsa to that does 4 wheel laser alignments. I was needing it done since I had only lined it up by eye when I did a CV joint (undid the tracking + bottom ball joint because I wasn't sure how to do it :o ). He only just managed to get the things on the wheels but I'm not sure how far I'm down - I'm on 15s and the rim of the wheel's just below the arch.

He only charged £17 I'm sure but when he checked mine it was only 1 degree out at the most. The guy was that sounds that he said there's not really much point fucking about with it for such a little amount so just left it - he said the tolerance is about 1-2 degrees anyway.

I remember going round garages in my Corsa trying to get the tracking done, think it was when I was -60mm Nova springs, so was pobably 70/80mm or something. A few garages turned me away, but when i got to the last one he said it would be fine and the other garages just must have been being lazy about it?

Remember one of the garages I went to were going to charge £100 lol, got it for £20 in the end.

I managed to get all four of my wheels tracked at -60mm front and -100mm rear when I had it done last :) When I've had it done at other places in the past I've only been able to do the fronts though so I guess it depends on what equipment the garage uses

They managed it on mine at 60mm. The C is only down about 30ish but they have to lift one of the front arches up to get the thing on :lol:
