*Sigh* Front Tyres Scrubbing on Struts...

[1991_Vn2nV]

hmmm How about coilovers for the front? Raise it up a little til i get new tyres?

New tyres im looking at $500... How much are coilovers?

Have you had a wheel alignment? There is no need for coil overs. My mate is running 20x8.5's without coilovers. Coil overs range from $600-1000+ Depends on the strut you use, the springs, if they are adjustable, etc, etc.

lol...im just gonna say yes... I had one like 3000km's ago on the front after some bastard medium strip moved in front of my car at 4am in the morning and blew my tyre So I doubt its off by much if any, and its booked in for another on Friday...

p.s. Dont ban me lol

go down to Pedders Morphet Vale where I used to work because they actually do wheel alignment properly where they actually adjust your camber and castor not just the toe

to get a descent wheel alignment in Adelaide is very hard to find

That alignment was for the 16's tho. Trust me, I had an alignment on the SS with the 15's and 3 weeks later when my 18's went on I had another.
The toe was out by 1mm, camber by 10' and caster by 10'. All of that just from changing rims.

Ahhh cheers man Wheel alignment it is

What exactly is a laser wheel alignment?

Maniac and Airstrike, thanks heaps Very helpful

yep bigger wheels will give you more castor and negative camber so this will jump the toe out by a fair bit.

and you say what exactly is a laser wheel alignment?

with wheel alignment machines these days they are all lasers much quicker and it gives you more accurate reading which is good because my average doing wheel alignemnts are 15 minutes and I do 10-15 wheel alignments daily. I also use the Beissbarth microline easy 6 heads machine.

The laser is just what they use to mesure the angles and dimentions. More accurate then the old version (used to bolt to the hubs).
I would start with a wheel alignment. Make sure you go to pedders or the like, steer clear of bob jane, etc.
