    Lazer tracking isn't all that accurate like people keep suggesting. Its more like a rough estimate and nine times out ten the doughnut thats using it doesn't have a clue.

    I use the Hunter DSP 500 at work and I use it 6 days of the week. Its a much better and more accurate bit of kit. The only problem is, it doesn't like lowered novas as the guages scrape the arches. The only car I haven't been able to track is my nova. You can get special guages for lowered cars and only a handful of companys have them. However you can cheat, if you spin the radars back, as if you've rolled the car back. But again its doesn't give you and accurate reading.

    Thats because usually they get the "kid" to do it

    I had mine done when i first got the coilovers on, because i had to set it to about 8mil toe out so it would pass mot

    That's just them no wanting too.

    I dented my wing on the front when the tyre pulled it and it could still be done.
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
