Suspension specialist

[12dan34]

I recently had my F21 lowered with Eibach springs, love the look but even after having had it tracked twice since, it seems to tram line a bit unless i'm on anything other than a perfect road. I read that this is down to the fact that the camber is wrong because it cannot be adjusted on these? Can anyone recommend a specialist that can put it right for me please s that I don't have to go back to the original springs? I'm based in North Essex but don't mind travelling a bit if I can get it out right.

Thanks

You can adjust camber a bit afaik, but the kinematics of a mcP strut are usually finely tuned in camber regards so the behaviour you now have may be more due to the lower arm being further up than it was as standard, than the static setting.

This is why very heavily lowered cars for racing move the suspension pickups upwards so that the kinematics stay sensible.

It could be many things.

How old, how many miles does the car have, what tyres is it on and how have they worn, what other work has been done to the car?

Where are you based?

Either go to someone who is recommended in the field like Centre Gravity or Spires or go off a trusted recommendation. Having the Hunter machinery doesn't magically make a person do go alignments

Car has done 45k miles, 2012 model, 116i sport, no other mods, 4 new tires a month ago to try to cure this issue, no better..

I had the alignment done at Protyre in Bishop's Stortford who did my 911 and made a good job of that

Ended up going to Tyre-Smart in Witham, Essex in the end. Really nice guys, not sure what Pro tyre had done but this lot put it right, drives so much better now and they were a lot cheaper.

Chris Franklin Center (sic) Gravity. The best, but expensive.
