If you're lowering ride height, presumably you're also correcting alignment?

I was going to ask that very same question Stan. I don't see any need to have the alignment checked.

Surely it's the same as going from access height to off-road height. It must be linear? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Seriously?

Come on then, you've obviously got some wisdom to share, so spit it out!  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

when my td6 lowered to motorway height from standard ,did the alignment change somehow then...  ... - .- -.

How could it not have, particularly in camber? It doesn't have solid axles or equal-length wishbones.

Modern suspension is designed to add negative camber in bump so you don't need to run massive static negative camber to offset camber loss caused by body roll.

Look at how many lowered cars have a lot of static negative camber (actually, look at on old X5 ...).

Well that's cleared things up for me!  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

would lowering the suspension [using the IIDTool for instance] by 10/20mm affect the the alignment that much that you would have to have it adjusted.. ... - .- -.

Can't see 10mm making a huge difference, but it would be interesting to see how it changes things.

All moot in any case, as the 2006MY> cars are supposed to be put into Tight Tolerance Mode to align and as I understand it that fixes it at normal ride height (does IID, for example, fool the suspension ECU into using a different "normal" ride height which would affect this?).

i lowered my td6 by 10mm and although i didnt do many miles after that ,i didnt notice any abnormal wear on the tyres..
as for the IIDTool question, i have no idea. ... - .- -.

Mine has been lowered using the IID Tool for a year and I've also had no abnormal tyre wear........... Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

When I raised, my previous D3 (+30 mm) I did get the alignment done, that goes without saying.

If you lower it, no matter how little, you should also if this is going to be a long term mod, unless you do not pay for tyres of course... l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l
