Coilover fitting

Just been informed by the guy who was going to fit my new coilovers tonight that he can't do them because you need laser tracking gear to fit them

Is this right ??
Is it not a simple task of just swapping the suspension over ??
Need these fitting tonight am getting my wheels fitted tomorrow am gutted

Would of thought that you would need 4 wheel alignment after fitting the coilovers to get them set up correctly.

Yea that's right gutted.. Just give Drew a ring and he is chokka block till next wed.
Need these fitting and set up ASAP

Wtf don't u just put them on then allighn them

That's all I did

How did you alight them ??

If you do need 4 wheel alignment .. can't you put them on and the wheels then get it done after?

surely if its not too long after your new tyres won't be affected ... think there's someone in the offers does alignment .. ask him

Need em fitting I can't do it am fookin useless. Can't even do a lambda sensor lol

Will take a look Nic ta

He might be able to fit you in to fit them as well ..worth asking

You can fit them and then have them aligned after, I wouldn't recommend driving too far after fitting tho. If you can keep the suspension arm at the same place while you remove the shocks/springs and replace with Coilovers, it won't affect your geometry too much. Obviously you won't be able to keep it exact unless you have a jig or weld them, but it can be done....how do you think they used to change them before laser tracking was invented?

Oh and there is a lad on here does it, ask Marietto, he had his set up by him.

Or revolution *snigger*

Actually tyrespot do 4 wheel alignment and they're not too shabby (on Scottswood road) IMO.

Easy to do mate as well real easy

Me car is booked in revolution tomorrow to get the arches rolled and my alloys fitted. I rang em today and asked of they can fit my suspension too and Keith said yes but won't have time to roll the arches
So it's either suspension fitted or arches rolled tomorrow by revo

i remember when i got coilovers put on my s14 and everyone was saying u need to get it aligned or it will handle crap and be dangerous.
dropped it on its arse and never actual got round to getting it aligned and it didnt drive any worse than before i fitted them and didnt notice any wear on the tyres but i probs only did around 3000 mile before it got sold.
by all means get it done but i wouldnt panic about it.

Well it seems that most people are telling me its not important to get em aligned so really I just need someone to fit them now.. Any takers I have cash lol

How much are revolution charging to fit them coilovers? Tbh you would be best getting alignment done asap to avoid crap handling and dodgy wear on your tyres.

I have paid for two hours labour at revolution whether that be arch rolling or suspension fitting is my choice. Don't know how much they are charging I just gave em £1400 for everything

Why not get arches rolled get suspension bring it home get it fitted later by someone they are piss easy

Think am gunna try and fit em when I get home tomorrow
Should be fun lmfao

You could always get your wheels fitted and arches rolled at Revolution and then contact SidewaysDan off here to see if he can fit the suspension and do the alignment, he's supposed to be good at it and not too far away from Revolution if he can do it before or after you go there.

save your self a pretty penny, hire Drews arch roller, peice of piss to use.

I have been thinking about it and can't understand how changing the suspension struts would affect the alignment. The coilover struts aren't camber adjustable because all that is located on the wishbone that the struts are fixed to.
