Wheels

[gerry]

Hi all, im sure that i read in a thread that some of you lads had had your wheels alignd, and would recomend that company !!!!! i cant find the thread so not sure if i was dreaming, if so could pass it on need mine done :thumbs:

[VIDAL BABBOON]

Getting mine done there as soon as i can sort some time off.

Orchard motors in Newport :nod:

I don't have any other info though but hang on will do a search now :)

the tel no for orchard motors is: 01633216775

[roscopervis]

There's Promax in Dafen and there's David Coe in Gorseinon. David Coe did a better job out of the two on mine.

[VIDAL BABBOON]

That far more local :)

I have not heard many good things about Coe but have no first hand experience of them ?

Promax are rally lads iirc what was wrong with their work ?

[Owen]

I am booked in at Orchard Motors on Thursday will let you know what I think!

[JIMS14]

Promax is no more either.

[VIDAL BABBOON]

Everyone that has been to Orchard have praised them :nod:

Plenty of time is taken and deviations are brought to your attention.

The only reason im looking closer to home is to make it easier for me to get there lol

[VIDAL BABBOON]

Promax is no more either.


Ahhh tits :annoyed:

Not going to Coe lol

[gerry]

Promax couldn't do the rears for me as the bolts were too tight.

David Coe is at the end of my street and I've had a few chats with him. He did a good job on my car with the alignment and fitting tension arm bushes, no other real experience. Charges at hourly rate which is £45 an hour. Lots of nice (and some not so nice) cars going in and out.

Just been having a fiddle and .............?

[VIDAL BABBOON]

Well i thought i would see if anyone on here could give me some advice and double check my settings.

http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=409178

More interesting reading if you have the time lol

So my new settings based on this thread will be.

Front:

Camber -1.65 (may reduce to -1.5 though)
Caster 7.5
Toe in 0.01

Rear:

Camber -1.35
Toe in 0.02


What are you going for Gerry ?

[The_BULK]

yep Orchard motors offer a great service at an even better price, Jon is a nice guy to talk to.

ill also be there on thrusday having a last minute alignment check ready for BDC saturday.

my settings are most likely to be:

camber

2.5 neg
Caster 8
toe in 0.01

rear
camber 0.5 - 1 neg
toe in 0.05

that should do the trick

[Owen]

I was just going to ask them to get them as close to whiteline sport settings as possible with the standard setup, as I only have rear camber arms and a mild drop

O

[gerry]
