If you lower your adjustable suspension, do you have to get the geometry, camber, tracking etc redone?

Technically yes, if you lower the ride height it will alter all the angles, but it depends on how much you lower it as to whether I'd bother getting it done (less than a few mm).

Hi Pete,

have just fitted a set of ProTechs all round on my '01 4.5 and am wondering the same thing.

Did you take any 'ride height' readings before you changed anything ??

(When I say 'ride height' I mean any measurements at all of the bodywork from the ground)

I havent changed anything yet. I was going to drop it a couple of mm as its sitting a little high and give it a touch more damping as its a bit bouncy. I cant really give you any measurments to the body work as the cars up on stands at the minute, so i would only be able to give you maximum sag measurements.

Measure from the ground to the bottom of the chassis rails NOT the bodywork.

Standard is 130mm.
