      Yep the old coast along in neutral at 40-odd and pull both levers in? I did do it when changed the tyres, but Adrian did a partial KDS on the car during Insp2 (by this I mean, the intrax is too low for their kit to work without removing bumpers etc, so they got is very close to std settings after changing both front track rod ends (old ones were locked solid)).

      I will get Fearnsport to do a full 3d Geo

        Maybe it was just the road then

        As for those track rod ends - I know what you mean about them being locked. Could have done with a blow-torch on them maybe? Depends how committed they are :thumbs: All down to yet another shit design by BMW...

          Matt at Fearnsport was going to do the geo after Steve (simplytyres) fitted them there. He didn't have any (more a porsche bunch) and didn't want to take the chance of breaking them off and leaving me screwed on a Sat.

            I know andy and Matt at Fearnsport reasonably well and they know their onions (they worked on my 996 GT2)
            As I said Chris at Center Gravity set mine up (standard suspension and thus ride height) it really did transform it. I realise it's a trek up to CG, but worth a visit possibly ?
