Full Track Geo Setup + Ride Height Adjustment – £255+vat

Ideal for cars with recently fitted fully adjustable coilovers who are wanting to set the ride height perfectly across the car particularly when lowering past the factory height. Drivers weight and fuel need to be taken into account here to accurately set the correct height depending upon the desired use from the car. 

Due to affecting heel and toe as well as camber, settings need to be adjusted to maintain maximum tyre contact patch and not force adverse tyre wear through edge scrubbing affects. Settings can be applied from our extensive knowledge base of setting up cars for both street and track use for optimum handling affects and confidence in the vehicle.

Full Track Geo Setup + Ride Height Adjustment  + Corner Weight – £340+vat

Corner weighting or weight balancing is the theory of meticulously distributing the load layer down by each wheel, Balancing the weight distribution across the car by setting preload to ensure an even 50% cross weight from corner to corner, Optimising weight distribution from front to rear and left to right so that the diagonal weight split across the car becomes 50% is key to ensuring the car preforms at its best in both right and left hand turns. Weight distribution directly affects the how the weight shifts during acceleration, deceleration and cornering to ensure predictability for the driver in line with your intensions.

Essentially we are looking to create the same level of grip when turning right as we are when we turn left, giving the driver full confidence and predictability in the cars handling, this is an absolute mush for track driving and race car set up.

Once weight distribution has been set then we are able to correctly set the vehicles ride height and alignment for optimum road/tyre contact patch.

*This service typically takes a day to complete.

**Please insure the vehicle has half a tank of fuel when dropped off.
