Question


If you replace the factory springs on a MY01 with, for example, Eibachs, would the geometry need to be set to something different to take account of the lower centre of gravity ?

I'm currently using "Prodrive GrpN Tarmac" settings (supposedly), so was wondering if I'd just get it reset to that, or not ?

If you change any spring you should have the goem reset as you have to remove the shock strut to change the springs!!
The bottom of the strut is where they adjust the geom!

So yes

Re-read your post!!!!!

The Previous setting will be fine! but you will need to get it reset up after the spring change (See my post above)
