Thanks, another question is that I am running non factory wheels. 275 35 20 9J when my car originally came with 245 45 18 8J alloys. I have also added some 20mm spacers on each rear axel. Does this mean I need to adjust the camber?

That looks pretty slick, James do I need to change my rear camber due to my rear spacers and 9J and how do you work out how much etc...? Just I saw your ED38 post and noticed you did.

no the wheels and tyres are irrelevant to the cars adjustment mate,

i did mine to tuck the tyre into the arch

Singh 1st March 2010 06:05 PM

Ah, I see. Mine are just under the arch so that's cool. I've decided I'm going to fit my coil overs as well now as there is no point getting the alignment done twice. Going to fit them myself as they look straightforward enough and have managed to get hold of some spring compressors. If I get stuck the car will probably just end up in Bens hands lol. Any tips for me doing it on axel stands? Couldn't find a guide on how to fit coiles.

in my opinion id get them fitted by a garage, they aren't straightforward to fit if its your 1st time doing that job

Singh 1st March 2010 06:13 PM

Ah, I might get the fronts done by a pro. Sounded like fun, are the rears easy to fit? Wanted to save myself some money. Have to buy new tyres too! :(

Mkoneman 1st March 2010 06:20 PM

other way round if anything lol

by all means give it a go but i know u will wish u hadn't lol

Singh 1st March 2010 06:31 PM

I've changed shocks on the rear of an E36 325 Bimmer just thought it would be the same sort of thing. I'll see if someone lets me borrow a ramp. The only thing I'm worried about is a siezed bolt or something, grrr. Hate it when that happens. Thanks for the warning!

If I get a garage to do it my RNS E install is going to have to wait a while :( I got to be sensible with how much I spend on the S lol
