My point exactly. Thats why you pay professionals to do it for you.

Why people so fussy over wheel alignment and such? We do $55 wheel alignment and its fine. Once you hit a pothole, ripple strip the alignment will go out of wack.

As for adjusting height, tape measure.

If you want ride height just DIY.

But if you want a right car balance ratio then get the professionals to do it.
I've seen it get done, and it's time consuming with all the weighing of the car and adjusting ride height etc. It can take up to a few hours getting it right.

thx for the info..
one of the reason is for me to find a good plc to do it.. atm i did it with my mates..but in terms of adjusting the preload spring rates, im nott sure how that goes??:p

best thing is not to touch the preload perch, correct me if im wrong, thats what i learn last week when i done mine:P

BACK YARD>??bear and party always your guide!

i think u have too much money.

u really think corner balance would help much? how are they gonna shift the weight around>? ahaahah adjust it up and down..

Then you should just raise the front to maximum height and lower the rear to the max.

you can just count how many turns from base. why are u using a measuring tape for?

and a mm or 2 isnt going to kill your performance..

Raising the front will add weight to the front axle. Not a smart idea if you want good handling.

Adjusting the corner balance will make it feel similar in left and right turns. If you don't like the idea of this then you are obviously not into handling and should go polish your rims.

i raised the fronts myself on weekends. very easy

i used a tool (looks like a F to measure the amount of thread showing for adjust.

if u got coils, i rekon DIY buddy

also on another note. if i raise height will i have to do a wheel alignment again

for preload adjustment = tighten the spring so it is just held captive, but u can still spin it around with some force.

I first had my height setup low at the front and a bit high at the rear. Then the fronts were supposedly bottoming out.
Took it to Fulcrum in Melbourne and they adjusted it so the fronts higher and the rears lower :confused: wtf.
