Lowering.

[Continunity]

Hay Guys, i think i already know the awnser to this but ill ask anyway.

If i lower my IS200 by 30mm will i need to have my geom done again.

Im thinking yes, but i have only just had it done by lexus (before i read on here about WIM)

Cheers

yes

[MacRS200]

Like Mat says defo yes.

Apart from anything else if Lexus did it I would get WIM or a WIM trusted centre to do it again anyway.

30mm is safe for recovery by the cars natural adjusters. Distortion of the geometry is without question so please heed the advice displayed here in LOC.... This club can recommend many centres to recover the positions but there are some Dynamic issues to conclude prior to the recovery..... if you want i will write the positions for you!.... In LOC this is without cost but i will need additional information to conclude final positions.

so even tho i have had it done by Lexus you recon i should have it done again. Fair enough. you guys are the experts.

next question, where can i find a WIM trusted location. Im in Ashford Kent.

Cheers

Believe it or not the geometry defined by Lexus is wrong, so if Lexus set it up it will be wrong. Not saying that the guys who did the job are no good just the settings they use are no good. No doubt The Dr will come along and explain.

Would have thought that the man himself would be closest to Ashford. CLICK HERE for a full list of "Trusted Centres".

In lexus defence it did make a big diffrance, prob cos it was well out when i bought it....

watford it is then....

thanks for the replies... :D

I dare not say Lexus had got it wrong. Rather the positions can be improved on...

This is the reason? The front camber dynamics permit the curve to rest very negative. this curve needs to be dialed out static.... Next the castor position tends to be low reducing the turning radii and belaying the Ackerman angle.. The solution is to remove the negative camber, this will incline the KPI/SJI and pivot the toe.... As the toe is corrected the pivotal points of construction shifts the caster forward indirectly moving the angle into UK position.... basically pulling the cars lower parallelogram forward..... All this can be done with as little as 10' camber correction :D

erm thats exactly what i thought..........

Ill have to see when i can get up to you.. Should be in the next couple of weeks. Is it a book an appoiontment jobby or a tun up and wait..?

Booking without question.... wim and LOC have shared a very good relationship regarding Geometry recovery and cost.... If you are thinking of coming to me then i advise you join Gold here first... That welcomes a generous discount surpassing the Gold fee in one instant.......... food for thought!

[Continunity]

i was looking to join gold, i guess this can be the excuse...

ill have to get my ***** in gear.

again thanks for all the responce.

The immediate benefits are obvious to you...... join and save much money in your venture... or just support the club.... I did and i don't even drive a car
