I have NO idea how to properly set up coil overs & am going to pay a local workshop to do it for me. Their cost is $160 which includes a wheel alignment - does this sound about right? Not too expensive??

The car is currently fitted with K Sport coilovers the there is a little too much wear on the inside of the rear treads. Just want to have it set up fairly standard for now.

Anyone with an idea what this should cost feel free to share - cheers! :)

Considering that a four-wheel alignment costs in the vicinity of $60-80, I think its a pretty reasonable price. I'd be getting it done at a dedicated tyre/wheel or suspension place though.

it's tyres'n'more in robina. they claim to do suspension too...

What are they going to do for $160?

Sounds like the rear needs to be aligned properly, rather than the coilovers adjusted. The rear will be aligned without needing to touch them at all. The fronts can be adjusted at the base of the strut &/ or the top of the strut so requires a little more effort to get it right.

I'd get a quote from somewhere else because if it's only an alignment it sounds pretty pricey. If however, you're going to have the ride height/ damper settings adjusted too, then it seems pretty reasonable.

camber/caster etc - dont need to change the ride height as im happy with it.

Camber and stuff should be included in a wheel alignment.

for real? even with coil overs?

so $160 is an overkill?

The only way to correct the camber on the rear is to get a camber kit
No amount of alignning will correct this without the kit
The only adjustment on the rears is toe adjustment which doesnt help for camber

I got KSports also.
The rear are only toe only on the vehicle. The only adjustment the rear coils have is spring or strut height.
The fronts are camber and height on spring and strut also. With toe on the vehicle.

Yes, even with coilovers
