How does wheel alignment work on a lotus?
Our state-of-the-art 4-wheel alignment system allows us to quickly establish your current geometry and identify problem areas quickly and effectively. Modifications to geometry or wheel alignment can be made quickly and accurately saving you both time and money.
What is the geometry of a Lotus car?
We have geometry specifications for all Lotus vehicles from factory standard settings to more aggressive track day and race settings. Many customers are surprised at just how much difference they see in their road-going cars when the geometry is correctly set.
How to check suspension geometry and wheel alignment?
Check the current state of your geometry and wheel alignment with specified pre-load weights. Full print-out is provided. No adjustments are made during this check. 4-Wheel Alignment & Geo but no ride height adjustment. Includes adjustments to camber, front and rear toe as required to bring car into spec.

What are the specifications for a front wheel alignment?
The specifications in the chart are for the front of the vehicle. Caster is a stability angle, measured in degrees. There is no caster setting for the rear of a vehicle. The caster in this vehicle is read four degrees plus or minus one half degrees (.5°). The vehicles actual caster angles are within specifications.
