SMW Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Have searched and found plenty of info on 4 wheel alignment. I'm looking to get this done in or around the Bracknell area and was hoping somebody could recommend somewhere. Went to a place a while back to get this done but on arrival it was clear they didn't have the neccesary equipment to do this properly From what I could see they basically just adjusted the tracking the result of which is my front tyres now wear on the inside as opposed to the outside:( Presuming I can find a place that will do this is it worth taking the geometry settings from mkiv.com along and getting those put on the car? Has anybody actually done this? Getting new front tyres this week so any advice appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Micheldever, search them down with Google Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Ive been told in the past that the inside edge wear on the fronts is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraguy Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 My inner edges are wearing quite badly. I need to find a place for a good 4 wheel alignment as well, but I am waiting for my new alloys and tyres first. Anyone recommend something near London that knows what they are doing with Supras?

SkyJawa Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 SMW - I'm after getting this done as well mate, don't know anywhere in Bracknell off the top of my head though Shall we team up for a group buy LOL! I was thinking Micheldever, seem well regarded, and I've recently had new tyres all round so would be good to get it sorted! Octogon Toyota don't service JSpec's as I asked, wonder if they'd do the laser alignment on them though........ (also can't remember if yours is a UK or JSpec!).

SMW Posted October 28, 2003 Author Share Posted October 28, 2003 Neil I'm giving Toyota a ring about this later today. I'll find out about prices and ask them whether they'll do yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Cheers mate No doubt they'll say they don't have the required equipment to do a JSpec when I'm sure its the same for that sort of thing! They said the nearest place that would service it was Slough, but this is not for a service so you never know they might do it! LOL! Failing that I might try http://www.ggg.co.uk. They are very familiar with Supra's, used to be Toyota in Guildford where the Honda place now is, and used to service Imports. They have loads of import parts at their Addlestone place too, so maybe they can do alignment if Octogon won't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ajb Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I would be very interested in this too. Im looking for some where to get this done, in the next few days hopefully. Im in Sandhurst so not far from either of you. Ive put new tyres on the front last week and want to get it set up properly. Maybe that group buy you mentioned wasnt such a bad idea ?

Sharpie Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I got mine done last year at Octagon but, they would not do Lance's settings for me. The stock settings made a real difference to the feel of the car, so it must have been well out and the front tires stopped wearing on the outer edges The Service manager said that they don't do j-spec's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
