bargain, i was expecting more than that!

mine has adjustable TCA and compression struts, and avo monotube coilovers. the rear is non adjustable

i do need to get it running properly first and mot'd etc, then ill book an appointment!

as a rough guide, i need to set it somehow so i am able to actually drive it there, is just having the wheel in the middle of the arch pointing straight ok?

ps nothing on mine should be seized, as its all new and not done up yet, other than the coilovers but ill check the spring platforms move first

what i was getting at, is that i dont want to kill the tyres lol.

im a bit of a novice with regard to suspension settings etc, so i guess as long as both sides are the same, it should be ok to drive? basingstoke is about 65 miles from me
