After lowering???

(1/2) > >>

neil86:
As i am going to be lowering my golf, what adjustments need doing after i am guessing camber, toe, etc.

But whats adjustmenst are on the cars i have a diesel gt sport, I know when lowering its going to give more camber is it possible to correct it so as not to wear my inner tyres out.

Any advice would be great as i see alot of you track day your cars also.

denis:
once you've lowered it, let it settle for a few weeks and then take it for aligning (tracking/camber/toe etc), no point doing all this right after lowering it because it would all need doing again once the suspension has settled

neil86:
are all the alignments on the car or do you have to by replacements parts like top caps etc to get the adjustment

the bruce:
After lowering DO NOT wait for a few weeks.
Ride a few miles and do an alignment same or next day.

Proper camber and toe (in) on rear isn't any problem. Both can
(and should) be adjusted to factory specs.

On front toe (in) can be aligned of course. Camber can't. But the
subframe can be moved to same camber both sides.

No replacement parts required, some new bolts are recommended.

Thats great i dont want a massive drop just want to improve handling etc at least i dont need to buy camber plates or adjustable mounts for top of shocks.

how much is yours lowered looks perfect, get much rubbing on those 19" wheels
