I don't see how it is too low. The mirrors for the alignment clamp on the the edge of the alloy and not the tyre

The fella seemed to be putting some sort of gauge over the tyre. I'll take it somewhere else (raise the car a few cms) and see what they say. Not much point putting coilovers on and having it at the same height as before.

If you like the hight it is at the moment take the car somewhere else to get aligned. What place was this at? Once aligned you cant adjust teh height or it will throw the alignment out.

The place I use clamps to the edge of the alloy:

Booked into Hypertech, recommended by Pro-grip (who is closing for the school hols!).
Hopefully it will be

and not a

appointment.

So it was a

appointment!

Looks like I am running too much front camber (-1.4 deg, should be -1 to 1). Will wear out the inner edges of the tyres quicker but at least the toe etc is all good. Some adjustable front arms should sort out the camber if she's eating tyres!

TBH I wouldn't worry about it. I'm around -1.5 on the front and don't go through tyres particularly fast, even when using soft RainSport's. It that it all sorted now?

Yes, car drives much better.

I'll post the locking pin back to you ASAP.
