Just fitted 4 new proxes and about to get the alignment done. Im torn between the easy drive to Perth wheres theres a garage that can set the alignment and alter the suspension to AWD Perth custom settings (anyone used this service?????) or alternatively drive to Pro grip. The other side of the coin is that Im wanting to get the best out of my suspension which is top of the line Ohlin Coilovers.
Progrip it is.
Ive now got another slight niggle, Ive just replaced the tyres on my Advan wheels which came over from Japan with non uk spec rubber fitted. Ive just put a set of new 4 proxes on which were a direct replacement for the yoko's which were no good due to tyre type (ditch finders) but noticed that the size is 215.45.17. Theres much said about tyre sizes and the optimum size appears to be 40.Im hoping this hasnt been an expensive mistake on my part ??????? Theyve only got 14 miles on them. The other side of ther coin is they dont appear to rub, the suspension is firm so theres little movement. Thoughts???
I can live with the speedo being out slightly the cars for track blasts and the odd sunday run. I guess when its in Progrip I'll ask the guy to have a proper look and see what the deal is. I'll be a bit f@cked of if I end up having to change them given that Ive driven from ATS in Perth to Crieff and all I did was change the tyres (like for like size) to something more suitable.
That all said I cant here them rubbing and theres little play in the suspension, shes rock!

ive been running a 215/45/17 R888 on my classic for the better part of a year now without any kind of rubbing or issue`s
absolutely under no circumstances use the guys in perth,have heard real horror stories and experienced it first hand. ive used hypertech with good results but am going to give progrip a try this time.

Im a Crieffer, just picked up a type r blue in colour. You local to me? In fairness to AWD they have only suggested a guy in Perth centre who can set up suspension providing he's given the settings. Ive had a full service just completed at AWD along with some light electrical work to sort out my guages and controllers etc and the guys were excellent. Pricey but excellent! Ive decided to go to progrip, they appear to get the
sorry should have made that clear,grant andy and the guys at awd are top class-they set my suspension up by eye and it feels pretty good!! but i believe they use target for geo and theyre terrible.
