Best Place ajdusting coilovers

[siir]

Hey guys,

noob question:
just dont want to get ripped off and also need advice for a good shop to adjust my coilovers..

i got tein monoflex and need sum adjustment (increase height adjustment)
hopefully balanced corner weight (afaik 500+)?

anyone know a good place to adjust coilovers in sydney?
how much am i looking at?

also what do they usually do beside adjusting height or lowering? will they balance it, camber adjustment, caster, toe adjustment?

cheers

just diy, its really simple and not worth paying someone to adjust height on adjustable coilovers. you can adjust it with the tein keys and a simple oem jack. If you really want someone to do it pm benjamin.
corner balancing is pretty pointless for a street car imo. you need adjustable camber kits to adjust the camber, shouldnt really worry unless you lower ur car to the point where ur tyres wear out unevenly.
better to save money on labour cost to spend on other mods!

btw a wheel alinement is advised after sussy mods. that would be the only adjustment that needs to be done professionally.

If want perfect number and adjustment diy will never give accurate adj imo. Thats why people pay hundreds to get pro's to do it.

Try "HEASMAN STEERING" In tempe. $80/hour to adjust ride height, $200 to corner weight the car, $66 to adjust camber/toe for the rear and $88 bucks for the front camber/toe

You need to book with these guys, cant just rock up, there very busy. They do cars such as Lotus Exige's, ferraris, 8-9 sec rotors, so there quality. You get what you pay for.

If you have all the components and you spent all this money on your car whats another few hundred to get it done properly.

What do they do to adjust the height that is any more accurate than what anyone on here can achieve?

This is how I've done it/seen it done.
I only asked because I don't see why the shop would be more accurate.

[bennjamin]

guys while a tape measure is needed to make it equal both left/right or front/rear - the height you lower/raise at the coilover doies not indicate the height you will raise/lower the car
Time and experimentation is the key.
