Chassis Geometry Callibration

[JonV12V]

Hi All,

Whilst I'm probably going to renew my current set of PZero Corsa's on the V12V, I'm also seriously considering getting the geometry checked and re calibrated once new rubber is fitted. Want to get the car spot on.

Has anyone got experience of using the likes of TDI Tourque Development International near Lakeside who can adjust and customise the car for Fast Road Set-up (FRS) and are apparently specialists in this field versus getting the AM dealer to check and apply AM factory chassis settings using their hunter alignment system? I understand that the AM settings are quite conservative and can be improved.

Interested to hear from anyone who may have had a geometry check and adjustment done and especially experience with TDI?

Cheers Jon

I'm pretty sure Mikey K has used centre of gravity near Nuneaton. I've looked into them but haven't acted yet although I need to do something soon when I get new rubber fitted. They're Porsche specialists but don't let put you off as they do other cars. I recall someone rang them and had a long and far too detailed a conversation but that might be just want you want.

I do not know about TDI, but Wheels In Motion (not too far from the M25 in Chesham), were recommended on here by Mikey K.

Following that, I used them for tyres and found them to be careful people, who have the top equipment. Whilst there, an Aston Rapide was being re-shod, which they told me had come from a main dealer. They have a website with some videos.

Geometry is dealt with in a bay beside the waiting area. I could see laser beams, but that is all I can tell you.

I know of another person on here that had trouble with them - claimed a tyre diameter was wrong and other issues.

Thanks Neil,

Sounds like quite a few positive comments in favour of TDI. I understand that they haven't callibrated a V12V before, so would want the car for 3 days to fine tune, etc. Anyway, I reckon checking and calibrating the chassis setup is worth doing, given the new rubber all round and it's not been done since leaving the factory.

I've used Center Gravity on mine. Best money you will ever spend on your car. Get it done
