Tyre Kicker
Had my car in at a specialist yesterday to have the suspension adjusted and geometry re-done. The car has MSS adjustable springs on it but the last owner had the rears slammed. I wanted to bring them back up a bit. I don’t like the aesthetic look where the top of the tyre disappears into the arch and the ride was a bit harsh.
Before it went the rear driver side arch gap was less than the rear passenger side. I spoke to the guys about this and they said when they set it up, the adjust based on the chassis leg rather than the arch. Now I’ve got it back it’s still a bit uneven (albeit not as low). There’s not a huge amount in it but it’s enough for me to notice.
They went through the geometry adjustment with me and the car feels tremendous so it’s purely an aesthetic issue, but I’m thinking about taking it to the guys that did my RS5 instead.
I’ve never had a car where the arch gap is different on one side than the other. I’m also considering just taking the wheel off and adjusting that side myself to even it out.
Thoughts?
