I havent fitted a camber kit at yet and am running 245/30/20 (93W) all round.When they lowered it they gave it a wheel allignment but I found it is pulling to the left. I took it back and the guy said cause they are wide tires it is probably tracking, but I know what tracking is and this isn't tracking, its a definantive pull to the left. They had alook and said it aligned correctly. Any body else had a similar problem? Edited 30/11/09 02:10 AM by Xm coupe
PHANTMXR6 It's not a MKI! Member 1,742 Member For: 18y 3m 7d Gender: Male Location: Earth Posted 30/11/09 02:20 AM Posted 30/11/09 02:20 AM Nope. I made sure I got the wheel alignment figures before I changed my springs so as if needed they could be reset back to the original alignment as I know this setting doesn't pull or wear tyres.

Get them to check that - a very common thing for us here...

They know there stuff there. I had mine lowered by these guys and they did a great job, no pulling either side and the steering wheel was off centre and they made sure it was fixed before I left.No issues at all.
