I’m no expert on this, which is why I posted it, I imagine there’s different tolerances which are in an acceptable range but be interesting if anyone with more knowledge could add their thoughtsmjennings23 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2018 3:21 pmGone a bit different to my roadster, for comparison

I specifically went for near neutral front toe and less rear camber myself, preference really.Jamesw wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2018 3:39 pmI’m no expert on this, which is why I posted it, I imagine there’s different tolerances which are in an acceptable range but be interesting if anyone with more knowledge could add their thoughtsmjennings23 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2018 3:21 pmGone a bit different to my roadster, for comparison

Yup, standard size wheels MACK, although they are MV3s so a lower offset. Don't think that makes any difference mind.
Oh, and I had changed a significant number of suspension components just before this was done, hence the "before" setup being horrible! Was a very interesting drive to the garage that day...

Did you ask for anything specific with this? For example the rear camber is no where near factory spec, it's closer to the settings for an M . Dont get me wrong that's no bad thing at all but I'm just wondering why they did that.Jamesw wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2018 3:39 pmI’m no expert on this, which is why I posted it, I imagine there’s different tolerances which are in an acceptable range but be interesting if anyone with more knowledge could add their thoughtsmjennings23 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2018 3:21 pmGone a bit different to my roadster, for comparison

I mentioned it has M-sport suspension rather than SE and said it was for road use rather than track and then left them to do what they thought best. How would these settings effect it, haven’t had a chance to properly drive it yet as was a very short trip home and all seemed well, not that there were any major problems beforeMACK wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2018 7:40 pmDid you ask for anything specific with this?

Howcome you went for this set up, less twitchy? Just had mine lowered and oem aligned, but the dreaded tram lining is back so looking for something more neutral.mjennings23 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2018 3:21 pm Gone a bit different to my roadster, for comparison
