North West England people - Laser Geometry check

[duckson]

Has anyone used http://www.nigellangsgarage.co.uk/wheel_alignment.htm before, its in Bolton?

Thinking of getting them to do a 4 wheel laser geometry check on my M and they use the "dogs danglies" Hunter geo machine.

Couple of threads here on KDS alignment, quite interesting. You thinking about this after the inner wear on your tyres? I'd maybe be worried that they mess up something else, if it otherwise drives fine just now.

I get my car aligned every year. The place I have it done uses a Hunter Laser alignment machine.. It is REALLY accurate..

That place looks good, they are using the Hunter KDS system from the look of it

Well better safe than sorry with the alignment, if its all in spec then fine, the geo guru on here thinks its nothing excessive:-

I read your thread on wheels-inmotion.

On a non-///M Zed, the rear camber spec is -2.0 to -2.5. Not sure about the ///M.

If you don't drive like a raving lunatic or track your car often, you can reduce the rear camber to -1.8 to -1.9. It will be 'out of spec, but you will not know it unless your on the track, but your tires will last longer......

A local company has this system and servieces ALL the high end sports cars. Not unusual to see several Porsches, Ferrari's, etc waiting for their turn....
