Elite Direct - Geo settings - any good???

[Pip1968]

Has anyone used these people for sorting out their suspension - Elite Direct in Dagenham (Essex). I had a geometry check and following the problems I had at the Nordschleife last October with excessive tyre wear on the n/s inner front tyre it seems the camber is out at 2.66 degrees.

Anyway I do not want to travel too far but just need the set up adjusted and then set up for something good for track and road ie not too aggressive and track orientated.

I had no inner tyre wear with 3.5 camber.

Tyre wear is usually caused my toe in most cases

I will happily pop to yours if you can PM your address but are you able to readjust/correct the camber. The place that did the check today said a 'special' BMW tool was required that they did not have.

I also have the Turner Motorsport adjustable top mounts in place since buying her but these have not been adjusted ever.

Can you do tomorrow ? ......?

Well after a few problems with communication I declined the kind offer from Adem and just got a secondary geometry check. Attached are the results. Aplogies the paper got wet and had to be dried by me and has caused the ink to run on the OEM parameters and toe readings.

From talking to the chap there he seemed to think the settings were good and was just suggesting the toe could be slightly adjusted (rear readings have washed out of the paperwork) and front caster could be improved.

For the track gods and twerkers (not Miley C) what is the consensus/opinions - ?

This is close to what it should be!!
Your rear toe is too far left setting thrust angle to the left!!on rear axle
Front left toe is too far in(cause of tyre wear)
Steer ahead is too far right and the castors aren't close enough!!

This pic shows a relatively basic setting on my csl apart from a bit extra camber due to not having top mounts and the ride as low as possible.ive now got top mounts and will post another geo once i get my shock back from kw.

Sorry for comma fault EE have sent me an apology as to why my phone had no signal

The first image is a print off the second(more colourful)is actual live data as i track the car i can set is as much or little as you like and its so precise its unreal

5k i think this machine set us back so it gets regular updates and calibrations

Lookin forward to seeing you Craig
