I thought my days of not being able to get my car tracked due to silly fibreglass bodykits wee over, however I still cant find anybody that will track my car properly as it is so low on the front.

Anybody else have this trouble any recomendations on somewhere in the south midlands that will do proper 4 wheel alignment and camber set up on a lowered car?

I had mine done today, lowered 50mm, maybe 60, GSi kit, had no problems doing it.

Maybe he cant get the kit around your wheels that does the laser crap....

its not how low the bumper is, its the fact that we cant get the bit over the wheel and under the arch, if there's no arch gap it cant be down, i had to jack mine up slightly but its still not bang on cos the camber will change as the cars jacked up
