Who did the set up/geo

[Evo360]

I got a local uni graduate to do it. He has just opened up his own garage after working for a local race team, setting up various race cars. He uses the old fashioned string method, which I am personally not sure of now. I am doing a performance car engineering degree myself and after speaking to one of my lecturers he said the laser method is the only way to go nowadays? Some people swear by the string method though? not sure but I have thrown this guy a fair bit of money up to now and to be honest is probably miles away from where I want it. I cant really say whether its his work or not because without the Rca's and relocation bracket hes not got the best to start from..

I have no RCAs and no steer raiser thing.....I run just shy of -2 front and I run -1 1/2 rear with some toe out front and tow in rear. My car handles really well.

Get yourself to 8 peed, AREA, TDi, CPL, ABP, Grinspeed etc etc they seem the best guys on the main land.

I tried 3 places here in Belfast, they all used the laser and I wasn't happy......so I drove 50 minutes to a rally specialist and the car has been sweet as a nut ever since.

I would go somewhere proper mate as the car just sounds dangerous and someone with experience, as I was once told it doesn't matter if the equipment cost 30 quid or 30,000, it's the quality of the operator that matters.

How much of a drop do you have blunt?

Likewise I have no steering arm bracket or buddyclub RCA

Just 30mm springs from abp, rear camber arms, front camber bolts, jdm Rear ARB, and geo was done by abp

Handling was a bit foggy until the alignment was done but now it's incredible
I'm running totally different settings to bluntcap but it does work although I might get the toe out rear changed after a hairy moment a few weeks back
Best off taking the car exactly how it is to one of the above mentioned places and see if you're still having problems then [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

30-35mm I think mate, not sure as I've had the height changed a few times but never measured it.

Thanks for your input guys. Think a trip to tdi is on the cards as soon as my last few parts arrive hopefully next week
