Adjusting coilovers

Post by Harkus »

So I've been to pick my car up after having my clutch cable fitted and I've been advised that my coilys are cutting into the inside edge on my front drivers side tyre.

I've got raceland coilys dropped 80+ but I don't have the adjust spanner, does any one know what size they are?. I need to get it sorted asap as my mot is due end of month and it will fail on it.

My tracking and camber are out to

Its the camber that needs sorting, once its set up it will pull the wheel away from the coilover
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Guy reckons it's my lows :(, so if I have my camber and tracking sorted it will sort it out?.

He also said that the Exhaust is to long and the mounts are siting on the bumper it needs to go back about 4".. I've got an extender pipe between centre box and Cat for them to fit together think that's what's causing it.

Yes if you had it laser tracked and 4 wheel a lined it should sort it out as when you slam any car caster camber tow in and out is all messed with making it not handle as it should

You can see where it's sat on the tyre, it's only the drivers side though.
