well i've had it doen and they traked it to a normal 1.4 16V and they adjusted the camber as best as possible and the car is now ok, just gotta see how long it takes before the inside walls go bald like the last pair.

gotta get camber adjusters.

thanks for your replys guys.

well if your cars lowered it needs to be tracked so the wheels are staight, not so it matches a standard GSI un lowered on 14" rims, the two would be well out, im not at all confident these guys will get it right

oh rite, well they called and said what was it ( surely they should know, there mechanics) but told them it was a 1.4 16V, they said the computer needed to know.

if ya get it on a lazer tracking machine ya dont need to know the cars suspension set up. you adjust it till the lazers show the wheels are straight, i had my car set up using standard GSI tracking procedure and had to get it done again cos it was 13mm or so OUT

cheers adam, they put it on the tracking thing and the computer asked to track it normal or gsi setup.

i thought gsi might be better as they are lowered 15mm as standard and mine is 50mm lower and thought it might be better for tyres and that.

but they have tracked it nomal.

it should be set so that the wheels are pointing in the same direction (or not by 1 degree max)
