Wheel Alignment

[Jonny671]

I've come into some money, so just wondering if its worth getting my MX5 WIM'd or just leaving it how it is until I decide to do suspension.

I've no idea what I want to do with the suspension so far. On some previous runs I've just felt the car feels slightly loose.

It may be worth talking to Tony at WiM, I'd say he would give genuine advice, rather than take your money & leave you unhappy with the service.

If you're going to have anything done to the suspension (in the short term) do the alignment afterwards. You'll have to do it afterwards anyway, so anything done now is just money down the drain.

Right, Spax 35mm springs bought (Very cheap from another member!).. Is it possible to fit these myself on my drive?

I've found some spring compressers for £15 from Screw Fix, and can get my chaps at work to give the bolts a quick wiz with the air guns so they're not as stuck on. According to my "Suggested Repair Times" at work they recon about an hour per corner.

Just get work to do it, mates rates and a crate of beer surely?

Mates rates are about £25 an hour, and I'm already having them do a service & belts tomorrow

Plus I never do anything on my car, would love to start doing stuff myself.
