SUSPENSION TUNING
ABP can provide various levels of suspension tuning for all vehicles. We offer a full fitting service on over six manufacturers lowering spring options, numerous sports shock absorbers & many complete adjustable and non adjustable full suspension kits.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT & SUSPENSION GEOMETRY
Most modern cars have fully adjustable wheel alignment, castor adjustment & camber adjustment for both front & rear. Manufacturers geometry specifications give very generious tolerances which can lead to poor handling, excessive tyre wear & vague steering feel. ABP can ‘Blue Print’ your suspension geometry settings allowing you to benefit from maximum steering response and grip along with improved tyre life. We have fully calibrated 4 wheel alignment equipment and are able to optimise the geometry settings on your car. Please phone for exact prices on your car & feel the difference immediately.

CIVIC TYPE ‘R’ FAST ROAD GEOMETRY SET-UP
ABP specialise in the Honda Civic Type R and this experience allows us to offer something a little bit special.
Even if your civic type R is within Honda’s tolerance range you can still experience poor handling, excessive tyre wear and vague steering. We have found the majority of civic type R that we have checked in our workshop to be on the outside tolerance limits.
Most modern cars have fully adjustable wheel alignment, castor adjustment & camber adjustment both front & rear, unfortunately the civic type R is not one of these!
Here ABP at we have developed a way of adjusting the civic type R camber angles to vastly improve the handling, turn-in, general feel and overall performance. We can set your civic type R to exact Honda specification (something the dealers cannot do due to the camber being non adjustable) Or to our own fast road developed ABP specification making the car much better!
To check and Reset front and rear wheel alignment and front & rear camber settings to either exact Honda spec or ABP fast road spec (including front camber adjuster bolts) ………………………………….. £155.00 Inc parts & labour
Lowered cars will require adjustable rear camber arms fitting (to enable camber to be adjusted to any specification.) ……. £120.00 Pair.
