Might seem a dumb question but does anyone know how much adjusting ride height (on adjustable coils of course) affects alignment.

Reason for the question is I need to get the alignment done ASAP as the front is waaaay out after having my front coils off recently but I don’t have time to fine tune my corner heights. So if I get the 4 wheel alignment done and then fiddle with the heights am I going to bugger the alignment again.

when I had the Bilstein fitted and hunter aligned this was the readings...



I’ve obviously had 20s and 19s again since then along with raising the car and lowering again to compensate. Also the front subframe was loosened when turbo/ Downpipe fitted.

I had mine done again hunter last month and these were the readings so not a lot to be fair

What would be the optimum settings for street use mostly?

Thanks Jay. They seem in proportion relating to what you changed on the car and mostly in spec.

I’ll get my alignment done tomorrow as the front end is pulling all over the place under power and upset by the slightest road bump 😭

Guess my alignment was a bit out then

I was lucky it went in a straight line

Unsurprisingly it drives a lot better afterwards 😊😊😊

At least you had the wheels mounted on the right hubs when you left..... unlike my car having diagonally wrong wheel sizes when I drove off!

I didn’t need a book to tell me Jay as the car was heading in whichever direction it felt like 😂😂😂😂😂
