I just checked out the WIM website, they seem to offer steering geometry checks as well as wheel alignment
Might pay them a visit myself seeing as my newly-aligned car doesn't track quite straight and the steering wheel is offset from centre
Speaking of which, anyone know what the geometry spec...
Cheers fellas
www.tyrereviews.co.uk has some good write-ups too
Think it'll be the 3s then ... £320 for 4 fitted at a place round the corner from work via BlackCircles :approve:
Am thinking of trying Conti SportContacts as my next set of tyres but which to go for, SportContact or SportContact3? I can get them both for about the same price (~£78 fitted)
and
you can't both be right fellas so which is it?
oh yeah and the low speed ride is awful (way too stiff in bump/compression damping) but check your tyre pressures, they seem very sensitive to it
I'm in Cov too
Speaking of which, anyone know a good service place round here, where I can either (a) wait while I have the work done, or (b) that is very close to where I work (Jag Engineering Centre - CV3 4LF) where I could drop the car off and walk back?

I still don't know what springs have white markings only ... anyone?
Just compared my ride height with mate's standard 172 Cup. Ground to wheelarch apex is 63cm on his car and 65cm on my car.
So my car is out by 2cm. IIRC the Cup is lowered by ~15mm then I'm guessing I've got regular 172 Sport springs and not cup springs. Anyone agree?
Sometime ago I had the springs and dampers changed on my 172 cup and afterwards the ride height didn't look right (see this thread). Well today I noticed that my rear springs only have white markings but I think cup springs should have white and yellow markings. Can anyone confirm what the...
Seen you a few times in the car park parked near me. Mine's the 172 Cup, WN52 ***. Wanna catch up sometime? Could do with comparing ride heights ...
Contact me at work, CDSID = ddennehy
