Geo (NLC)

Post by BiggestNizzy » Thu Sep 27, 2007 8:51 am

One of the boy's from work has just blew out 2 tyres on his Civic Type R and he tells me that this is because his camber is miles out.

He is running a set of 18"'s on it and has lowered it with Tein Coilovers he had it in at Honda before and this is the result.

Does anyone know anywhere local he can get it all setup ?

He lives in Kilwinning

As far as I know there's a place in hillington that does geo - but can't remember the name off hand - and haven't been so can't say if they are good, bad or indifferent.

Are you sure he blew out his tyres due to excessive camber?? He might not got a huge amount of mile out them - but cause a double blow out??

Kenny Brown in Hillington did my S2 - Full geo (4.5 hours it took) and it was night and day, as Dom would agree as he also drove it before and after.

A guy at work has one with all of the adjustable Geo bits on it (you might have seen it in killie, it's the only white UK one around). He told me last week of a place that specialises in setting up the geo on CTR's, but I'll need to get back to you on the name of the place, can't remember :oops:
