i could possibly get one done at work. if u want to book it in. but would probably take it somewhere more a long the lines of tyrepower, wheelworx. as we dont have the specs for the stagea, but i would be able to do the research and organise something i am sure

I use Pedders at ridgehaven. They do great work. They charge $110 for 4 wheel alignment but over the years I have learnt that you get what you pay for. I recently took my M35 to a tyrepower twice and got the worse job I've ever had! Only charged $60 but also chewed out the inside of all 4 tyres by setting it up with a shitload of toe for some unknown reason.

So I went back to Pedders and now all good again. Should have stuck with Pedders from the get go like I usually do but tyrepower are closer for me, never again.

$110? My local wanted $165!!!

Ah well, getting it done by NAS this time, see how we go. Always been happy with Pedders in the past, but costs just added up this time because I wanted them to fit some other stuff.

Good advice. I think when you find somewhere you can trust you should stick with them.

Does anyone know where I can find the factory alignment specs? I'm trying out a new guy & so far seems very particular, but he wants the factory specs as a baseline to modify.

Last alignment was too recent ago (2000km) to tell from tyre wear yet, & I don't really want to ruin a set of treads just for trial & error.

thanks for the help guys love the feedback.

might go down to pedders and give them a go

anyone know if the rears can be adjusted so you dont get inner Tyre wear?

or if you have to get adjustable camber arms?

thanks mat

      Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.

      I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.
