Can any of you reccomend somewhere to have coilovers set up? i put a set of AP coilovers on my B, but need them set up properly, as when i turn right, it begins to turn, then halfway just goes straight!?!? its rather dangerous and needs sorting lol. I live hertfordshire/london if anyone does have any ideas?
( or if anyone has had this problem and there is an easy way of sorting it) i phoned R Tec in St albans and they quoted me £205.... that surely cant be right?
thanks
Ryan

could it be the top bolt?? becuase i tightened the ones where the shock joins the brakes etc! you go round a bend, then you turn the wheel that little bit too far, and it will just go straight, and roundabouts, it screeches like a bitch when your going like 20mph lol

hmmm.. its a bit wierd that its fine going one way. if there mechanics it should be done right if a maechanic cant fit a set of coilovers theres something wrong. have you got them to have a good look over it again?

take it to a local garage and ask them to sort out the alignment/toe and check your suspension.

yeah, they are currently extending the garage from 1 ramp to 3, so its going to be a week or two, i will tighten bits up again and have a look this evening, if not i'll have to put the spax back on the front for the time being. i didnt think they would have to be set up properly as such as surely it could be done by myself using measurements?

you have had your tracking, alignment done etc haven't you? and probably nothing to do with the problem but are they camber adjustable?

Ofcourse it is, the toe could be so ridiculously out that one wheel is pointing one way and one the other.
Get an alignment done.

i had the same problem mate ...take it to R - TEC in st albans they can do a 4 wheel aligment and adjust the camber as well .... they did it on mine and its so much better now .. dont think its that exspensive either ...
