Another Wim Post

[Yeldarb]

I lowered the car with Koni shocks and springs on Friday. The rear was a right mare to do, the front easy!! Yes that improved the car but it felt very twitchy and bumps in the road felt like they were throwing the car around "something" was not right. Probably didn't put the shocks in the right way round or something simple like that :shutit:

OK the bumping issue was sorted by setting the damper force to almost the softest setting at the front and slightly harder at the back, but still the twitchiness remained. The car was booked in for the geo. to be done as a matter of course as this must be done after lowering regardless of the car you drive, so I was hoping this may well sort out the problem.......

I am always sceptical about things in the car modding scene, I know about things like lowering, breathing, stopping, tyres etc, but changes to geometry is a new, uncharted territory for me. Well Tony did my car yesterday AM and the drive back to Milton Keynes was nothing short of amazing!! What a difference a few tweaks here and there make, instant noticeable improvement. No pulling, far better turn in, just the whole car now feels so tight and responsive what an amazing thing setting the geo up properly really is, this is on a 90K mile car.

WIMing is probably the best mod to do to your car. Or is "mod" the correct term? maybe the best adjustment you can do to your car.

THANKS TONY your coffee is prettty good also :winky:

how much roughly is it to sort the geo out?

[DJ Wozza]

I believe it is about £100 or so but you would need to contact them for a correct price.

It would be £100-ish *very* well spent IMHO ! :D

Give Tony a call, he's a great chap and might be able to recommend somewhere local to you. That's what he did for me because I'm in the north west, so I'm going to a place about 30 miles away.

I do wish I was going WIM though really, feels like I could be more certain of great service, but the place I'm going to should be fine and it's about 180 miles nearer.
