wongy 3 Report post Posted June 11, 2018 Hey guys! so after getting advice, ended up going for the tein flex coilovers.. I’m based in Nottingham have wound them down a little... perhaps a little to much a guy walked past saying “oh sick a slammed 86” the help I need is somewhere that will set the coilovers up properly /4 wheels and all over geometry I’m guessing? Dont want it stupid low which it is now! im based in Nottingham.. but need recommendations - local 4 wheels alignments centres won’t touch it on coilovers 🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
br0wny 27 Report post Posted June 11, 2018 If you're happy to travel north a bit Bram racing in Wakefield did mine and would recommend them. They specialise in custom setups for drift cars and stuff. The lad was really knowledgeable and friendly too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guy is really sound and has worked on a few 86's around that area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No Laser alignment but will be good enough. They've set up plenty of cars after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike@TD.co.uk 467 Report post Posted June 12, 2018 We have an alignment rig here, based in Warrington. Thanks Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Church 209 Report post Posted June 13, 2018 Alignment rig alone by itself is not sufficient. It's just the tool for a job. There need to be competent workers to operate and doing right asked/wished job with it. Dealerships for example also have alignment rigs. But what good in it, if many dealership people are used to 1) only stock alignment, and refuse or don't know how to do non standard alignment if you wish more performance oriented for example, or if you have aftermarket parts, adjustment of which has own specific, which is not documented in their "official documentation/manual systems" 2) "stock alignment" often means also imho too wide allowed yet still passing ranges. 3) by chance at least from my experience dealerships also charge more Hence why good suspension (or in general "tuning") shops/workers are needed/preferable that both are more familiar with non standard stuff or non standard customer wishes and also often do more quality job (in nutshell - dial asked alignment more precise). To me dealerships are worth only for official warranty job/work/regular maintenance so that it is documented to keep resale value and eg. some bodywork/paintwork repair after crashes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted June 13, 2018 For some dealers, Church. RRG Macclesfield have a Hunter alignment and will do it to your spec. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Church 209 Report post Posted June 13, 2018 Of course there are exceptions, and some dealerships are better then others even for non-standard requests/non-stock parts/more quality work. Even more so, i'm speaking of my personal experiences with official dealerships in other then UK country :). But still, i've heard complains about official dealerships of other carmakers too from my collegues/friends/relatives, so that was some generic impression i had arrived to based on personal experiences where i live.

wongy 3 Report post Posted June 21, 2018 Hey guys! Sorry not checked back on the forum for a while! I took a trip down to fensport - dave there did an amazing thorough job. Dave did an aggressive road set up/rack stance. Kept it low but still practical... Spent 4 hours setting the whole geo of the coilovers! It handles like a beast now (did a few tests) 👀 dare I say a lot better than factory! Well worth the drive! Thanks for all help though guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
