Jesus, never seen so much drama over wheel balancing. This is pretty much why I went and purchased my own balancer.

I was and ETS was mentioned so I have asked for info from them as there on my doorstep.
But as I have said I'm contacting CG too.
Bit harsh nick.

Sorry if you feel that way.

Chris from CG will take you out in your car and within 2 miles tell you exactly what needs to be done. He is one seriously good driver. Prepare for a very long explanation.

I doubt the guy at ETS would even know how to start your car.

Alternatively pop round and see Sump

Cheers Nick I hadn't forgot the advice you have given me earlier just checking out the options.
The reply I got from ETS did give me vibes hence the reason I posted it up.
I have discounted them.
Thanks

I can see a group buy coming on at CG - All 3 of my cars would benefit at the moment o a greater or lesser extent

Hi, i have spoken to Chris and that's a hour of my life i wont get back.
Anyway for balancing he advises me to use ETS as he has heard of them and there not muppets if they have Hunter equipment, he only has std balancing equipment.
As for geometry if and when im ready to discuss this with him but he feels my car is ok with the info ive given him.
Ive booked it in this Saturday so we will see.

At this rate your best bet is just turning, physically looking at the machine, noting if it's a Hunter balancer and then asking them to balance them..

Sounds like Chris
Have a look at the Hunter web site on their wheel balancing machines
It has an excellent section on why road force balancing is the way forward!

I'm at ETS can we have the key please.
They allowed me to put it in the garage.

And on another note - I HATE that barcode on the anti roll bar! When I was looking for mine I discounted the first car I saw as it had 'obviously' had a severe rear ender necessitating a new ARB beig fitted! Except I soon saw that they all have it. Odd for a factory fitted bit of kit - non?

2 wheels under weight and 2 over weight. 1 rear 30g out.
Car feels stiffer round town but tyre pressures were checked too.
Motorway tomorrow.

Hello at all

Please advance setups alignment wheels for fast road for a DBS my2011 ?

For informations, I saw differences on OEM alignments :
-0°15' DBS front camber versus -0°30' for Vantages...(-0°40' Rick)
+0.03 front toe in versus -0.03 toe out for Vantages...??
+0.10 rear toe in DBS and Vantages versus +0.07' for Vanquish 2 !!
and surprise big difference
-1°45' rear camber for DBS and Vantages versus -0°30' for Vanquish 2 !!!!

Thanks in advance
