Adie Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 I've still not had my geometery redone after having coilovers fitted. My car is too low for the cameras now so unfortunately it can't be done by "the doctor". To those who are also too low for the hanging cameras... Where did you get your geom done? I want to make sure that the place I go to know exactly what they are doing. There is a STS Stapletons in Northampton and they say that they do all full geom with the cameras that fix to the wheel. I'm unsure whether to trust them as they fitted my tyres to my brand new wheels and the wheels were filthy so I dont them to get scratched up.. @ Tony - Do you liase with any of the other STS centres in the country?

The clamps won't damage the wheels.... As far as liaise... Nope, there are no STS 'Trusted Centres' in wim other than Watford.... How honest is that!. If you do use STS then i will write the positions in advance for you if you need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adie Posted June 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Yes please Tony that will be most helpful. I probably will use STS as they are only down the road from me. I think I'm long overdue getting my geom done again as the steering tends to feel very light.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you pm me all cars details including wheel size off-set, suspension height and your email addy so i can send this set-up as a work sheet. For every ones information in case you are wondering 'Personal' set-ups cannot be displayed since the positions are dependant on the modifications.... if i displayed the positions and someone mimicked them this could be very dangerous.

jon Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Not that it helps but pro tyres in farnham (near southhampton) did a grand job when my previous MR2 looked like.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discount tyres dan Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 no problems getting gauges on there. i aligned a friends beetle (1969) it was so low we needed wood blocks to get it over the jacking beam, but once on the ramp it was a peice of cake. only adjustable at the front toe but it was a mile out.

Adie Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Still not had the geometry re-done. Now my steering wheel is slightly off line so I need to get my arse into gear and get it sorted. It looks like I'll have to use the STS in Northampton. So Tony I'll be in touch with regards measurements etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
