camber has been done, and tracking has been done by eye for now. I dropped the coilovers back down to a good height, and its going back to the garage on thurs to get the tracking done properly. Im ssssoooo pleased with my car now, but i wont be driving it till monday now cos im off out on the piss! :lol::lol: | |

u shouldnt need to bring the wheels out, there probably et 40 so already uve got 5-9mm more than normal. Once you stop the wheels touching the coils by altering the camber on the coilovers you just need to get the tracking done at a garage | |

could i just fit some spacers to bring the wheels out a little bit? | |

Rubbing from coilovers can be due to having wide platforms. You can buy smaller platforms for most good coilovers. | |

when i fitted coilovers with et45 alloys, had to put 3-4mm spaces on the front to clear the nut on the coilover :) | |

when i had mine done it was 1 degree out to the left, so they turned it another degree that way! had to have the wheel @ 9 o'clock to go in a straight line | |

Your car shouldn't be on ramps to be tracked. Find a garage that isn't bloody lazy :lol: | |

My tracking was way out when I got my coilovers on. Caused the handling to be very very loose and that pulled from side to side.. was much tighter after the tracking was sorted, was a right bastard finding someone who would do tracking on a car so low though. | |

Depends how bad the problem is. You can alter the clearance on the top lower bolt but this will affect camber which is a bad thing for handling and tyre wear. | |

As youi probably know, i fitted coilovers the other day to my corsa, but havent driven it till today and either the tracking is completely out and/or the coilovers themselves are rubbing againt the wheel causing the steering to go from side to side and snap out of my hands randomly, and a screeching noise like im skidding. :lol: (only drove it up the road and back). I remember someone saying in a post the other day that you might need to put spacers on - is this the case? Or can I just loosen the top bolt on the bottom of the strut, and realign the wheel like that? |
