My understanding is that it is part of a good wheel alignment when you have the ride height changed with coilovers.

It's preferable to get some scales with adjustable legs so that you can make them all completely level. Easy way of levelling them is to lay some clear hose on the ground, put some water in it, lift up each end of the hose and adjust the scales so the water line is the same on all four. Then just drive the car onto the scales with some ramps of some kind and get someone to read all four readings while you are still in the drivers seat.

Default update

Got the springs and sway bar ,roll centre kit and camber kit fitted yesterday at Wheels World.Improvement is fantastic, like driving a different car feels like a wrx now!
I would recommend this mod as the first to be done by any 08 betty owners. John and Bob are top bloke's, excellent service, knowledge and price.

I've already had John fit me a set of springs and roll centre kit, sent him an email yesterday for a price on the swaybar..
