Title: Geometry setup question
Post by: danzigfan on 15 October 2013, 20:27:00
Evening guys, I just bought a pair of brand new lower suspension arms, for 110 euros, which is a very good price IIRC, going to replace them tomorrow, should I take it to geometry setup after?  Thanks, Stan

Yes :y but a proper 3D 4 wheel set up, as the camber and toe are both adjustable front and rear...

Any changes at the front will affect the geometry as a whole so MUST be completely set up :y

Speaking from bitter experience, the money you will save on tyres will pay for the set up several times :y

Yes I know, a hundred per corner is more than fifty for all round setup   ;D

Changed mine along with springs and shocks all around and it seems we got it pretty close as it's handling quite well considering :y
