coilovers

[aterro]

hello
right fitting my coilovers.

have new top mounts.
so its pretty much unbolt, then fit new stuff.
no spring compression needed for taking off?

then what will i need..
camber alignment?
tracking?
laser alignment?

is laser alignment the same as camber allignment?

how much am i expected to pay for this?

thanks people

 

[venner]

I would be interested in these answers aswell as about to order some

correct you wont need spring compressors as you wont need to take the old stuff apart to get the top mounts off. As long as the new ones come with everything you need that is I've heard of some not coming with all the bits but most should

You will want a full 4 wheel alignment done. This is camber and toe, which area do you live in?

 

[aterro]

leicestershire im from.

so do i just ask for laser wheel alignment all round?
wont need to ask for tracking or camber?

 

[truCido]

same thing, you need the tracking and camber done. Which is sometimes called a 4 wheel alignment amongst other things! However make sure its done by a proper place and not somewhere like Kwik Fit, Q (or whatever its called) etc.

 

[aterro]

what places actually do
4 wheel alignment?

if kwik fit dont.
thats pretty much par mr trye and a few other trye places that actually do trye fitting around my area lol

 

[truCido]

How did you get on as my coilovers turnt up yesterday

venner for the alignment side of it or fitting?

aligment was easy paid 45 sniffs.
they did toe,camber, and few other bits which i have forgotten.

he gave me a graph of the tracking also.
fitting was easy. i personally thought the fronts where easier to do than rears. its just all bolts.
if u need any help just drop me a pm

i fort you couldnt adjust the camber on ibiza without buying extra's but tbh i never looked under a mk3 so i coulde be wrong, i know it cant be adjusted on mk4's without more modifing

 

[truCido]

you can adjust the front camber but not the rear, same with the toe

Yeah a place near me will do it for £50 so about the same.

Also where did you get your top mounts from? Seat?

If so have you got part numbers and cost as i need to get them to make it easier to swap over.

Or will i need 2 of the bearing aswell

http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=180

Will i need to get anything for the rear?

Sorry if i sound abit dumb but just want to make sure i get everything i need at once so that they are easy to fit without having to use any of the old bits.

Just saved me a few quid.
