Pro-Grip geometry

[Gumball]

HI

went to Pro-Grip in Bonnybridge this evening to get the geometry settings redone after my hedge hopping experience last month or whatever.

John, i think he was called did a great job and aslo explained how it all worked, the relation between having mean looking negative camber wheels and tyre wear etc.

got the prodrive setup today again for £47 and hey presto, the car goes in a straight line.

off boost still but it goes straight.

highly recommend this place if you live in the glasgow,stirling,falkirk area.knows his stuff, top bloke

Chris,

What do you mean by geometry settings done? Do you mean wheel alignment checks? Excuse my ignorance

glad to hear geometry is sorted mate, john set up my car and it is superb, although think i need my nsf wheel balanced again so will have to pay him another visit.

Aye its the same thing

[Gumball]

just a technical term for the same thing really.

KWIK FIT= waant yer tracking done big man??? crap

Pro-Grip= computarised setting up of your wheels. ie, they now point inwards at the top (negative camber) to reduce the chances of sliding away/crashing rather than pointing out (positive camber). they set all the wheels angles in degrees using hitech computers.

standard.............prodrive.................hill climb............

you choose the settings you want depending on your driving style. stops the car tracking more than usual left or right etc.

does that help????

Just waiting for Duncan to phone with a date for my brakes + droplinks, and it'll be going into progrip that day too.

A few questions if you don't mind.

Did you just have the camber and toe set?

Did they give you a before/after printout showing the margin of error?

How long did it all take?

Stefan

it took about 60 mins to get it done.

there is a printout on completion that gives you the following-

camber- prodrive 1.10* each side

toe- 0.05* each side

he managed to get it to match up perfectly which seemed very hard to do.

the printout also shows you where your settings were before he started. for instance if i like the settings that are in place now, then i can ask for the EXACT angles next time
