Adjustable rear beam???

[SCS j1mbo]

Hi mate, unfortunately not, any where could set it up for you though mate, a place with a set of tracking gauges won't charge you alot to set the rear up for camber and toe.

Jimbo thats the problem most places with in a 60 mile radius wount do them,most places wount even do tracking n a standard escos,were not as well looked after as you southern shandy drinkers

Iain if you get one i would recomment CLCM in edinburgh, he does a lot of the Lotus and Porsche guys in Scotland, he set up my 996 that was fully adjustable.

stu mine was a scs beam but i have one of them a adremaline ones in mine and has not been a problem so i think

Will, I hear what your saying.

But it was Danny that set mine up, surely he should of been able to tell me he couldn't do it in the day. He was doing it for 8 hours. And charged accordingly

He probably thought he could, but IMHO one small mistake will throw the whole car out, it is so easy to make a mess of multiple geometry changes. Even just tightening up the adjusters can alter the settings a fair amount, and doing it on a car that is jacked up does not give true readings. If the car is on the floor being adjusted, it won't give the correct readings as the suspension is under load.

To do a proper geometry set up, the car needs to be on floating plates, one single adjustment made, and then the car settled after the adjuster has been torqued.

People claim that bits of string, camber gauges and measuring is accurate, but it just cannot take into account all the variables and slight errors that build up across multiple adjustments.

The short answer is no, he could not have possibly done a good job without the laser bed IMHO

Check out the facts on this website, it's a PDF file but well worth a read.

you have to change your oddly worn tyres when changing to these beams you can't expect to improve the geometry angles and then bolt on your tapered tyres and expect to have improve the contact area and handling

Progrip in Larbert set up mine.

Tony how much do you charge to set up one of these beams

[Turbosystems]

we charge more to set up the ahmed beam due to the slide adjustment for the toe
we can convert them to an eccentric adjuster which is much better and a far more accurate way of doing it
Cost depends on how far out the whole car is including ride heights and front geometry as well as set back which is not adjustable on single jointed beams

Which beam do you have
you would be best to call me

[jimcallear]

I have one of your beams tony

[Turbosystems]

thought you had had this set yourself
pop down and we will check it for free
ring me first I have a workshop full to the brim

cheers tont will probs be next week
