I´m going to do next week the prodrive geometry settings with bilstein/eibach and 17´Oz superturismo gold. My workshop say me that they have to pull of the bottom of the car because the adjust of the geometry of this car should be made it whereas the height. It´s this true or I should be wanting another workshop? I have made the geometry other times but never I had seen pull of the bottom.

Enrique, I'm not an expert on suspension geometry settings, but I have run Prodrive settings before and it's quite an easy job.

I now run with the PowerStation settings, with bump-steer removed, which does much the same thing as the Prodrive settings but without the risk of high tyre wear. It requires more work and very accurate set-up equipment. I guess the trip to PowerStation is a bit of a long drive for you!

As far as I'm aware, the Prodrive settings simply involve adjusting for toe-in on the front, and as much negative camber as you can get by adjusting the struts from the top mountings. I know it's a bit more complicated than that, but certainly does not require major mechanical work.

Can anyone else advise our Spanish friend?

Is it possible that they mean "pull off the sump guard"? It's the large plastic panel under the nose of the car that protects the bottom of the engine. It comes off & goes back on quite easily.

The geometry should be able to be adjusted without even removing a wheel.

The workshop say that in the bottom of the car there are a little holes where should be attaching the wedges pulling the car, lowering the car several inns, adjusting then the camber and toe.
