Ok chaps , just thought i'd share with you the importance of getting your wheels set up correctly after lowering and fitting after market alloys .
The rear's were fine , but the front's were toeing out quite a bit , but 1hr later all was good and it only cost me £48 inc vat.

Need to get this done meself in the next couple weeks..

Anyone here in kent reccomend anyone?
 
I had my b14,s fitted and when I had the wheel alignment done they adjusted some but was told not all things are adjustable is that right ?
 
I had mine done and it was a bit out.
But it cost me a LOT more than £60..... :cry::cry::cry:
They did originally quote £75.00 if all 4 wheels required doing but as it was only the front they respectfully only charged me the £48 all in . At least you had it done , which gives you peace of mind and prelongs the tyre life too .

Yes indeed.
I'm not sure if I'm even going to fess up to what I paid - but it was the only place nearby that would do it.

Yes thats correct only some of the measurements are adjustable
 
Caster and Camber are not adjustable on the T6...
May be on the future T7 camber could be adjustable on rear wheels like the Touran you just have to turn an excentric and tadaaa
In order to adjust rear camber, you can buy camber correction bushes
For the front, there are two solutions for adjusting camber.
The first solution is to loose motor mount and move the last one in order to have the same values between right and left
The second solution is to buy special bolts which maintains the bottom if the shocking absorbers to the suspension arm if solution one is not working
Sorry for grammatical errors. You can correct my mistake, English is not m'y mother tongue. It is just scolar :-)

Anybody know where/who you can go in the UK who would use corrective bolts/bushes if required; to set the wheel alignment up as accurately as possible on a T6.
 
I was surprised to find my local kwikfit ! Have hunter 4 wheel alignment.

Cost me £68 I believe. They were very good talked me through there results on screen and you can watch as they corrected it .

Never normally touch kwikfit but they were good!

Yes Kwikfit are bang up to date with their gear, but I still had an aspect of the rear wheel alignment which was still out of spec and they couldn't rectify it.
So I may try and find a specialist next time who can use special corrective bolts/bushes to get it all spot on.
