maybe its ur shox then. one side got softer. same prob as me. i tried changing springs at 1st, didnt help. in the end change coilover. normally when u change springs or coilovers, in some ocassion camber kit is needed to adjust ur camber or toe is alignment cant be done with ur original camber. if u not thinking to change to after market suspensions, u can actually get replacement shox at ming ghee. cheaper than C&C. having to say this, pls confirm ur nature of fault 1st with a workshop. try to go to someone u know better or ask for recommendation from bros here.. how to identify whether its alignment or the shox thts the cause ie any visible tell tale signs or need to go for computerised wheel alignment to determine? if the shox is faulty doesnt our warranty cover it? camber kit can only be used on aftermarket shox? i'm guessing tht changing to aftermarket shox & spring is still cheaper than coilovers? for me tat time i tot its the springs very soft so i go n change aftermarket sport springs. after the computerised wheel alignment, report shows alignment all done correctly. the car was lowered & i encountered left bk hitting the ground numerous time until my bk cracked. was frustrated. then i change to coilover. now car even lower but havent encounter any bumps on bk. tat explains tat my front left shox gone alr lor.. shox faulty shld be under wear n tear.. Chop&Chop wont cover.. aftermarket springs & shox shld be cheaper than coilover but coilover got more room for adjustments. not only tat, most of them are rebuidable & serviceable. difference of price shld be ard 300-400. changin of camber kit for stock suspensions doesnt make sense. will help to balance the wheels but will not solve the problem. wheels be flat but ur car tilted..

drove and hit a kerb few days back and scratched my rims ( ), managed to use Oracal stickers to hide the scratches but now wondering if my alignment is off (99% off i believe)and whether any damage or not, wanna go do alignment again n balancing of my rear tyres also, any good shop to recommend in Singapore? Any other thing to check?

for me, i did at
Ban Hin - 20 for wheel balancing.. 20 for tyres rotation (meaning removing all the tyres out from my rims & rotating it to another rims depending on thread wear)
Kenny Alignment at autopoint AMK - 40 (steering wheel alignment)

High speed balancing using scooter type or Hunter simulation type?

scooter type bro... Alignment liao seems bit OK however it seems my ride is bit 'wobbly', supposesly straight surface like when when in a MSCP my ride like gives me an uneven feel, what could be the problem? As mentioned drove and hit a kerb near the old police academy there sometime back, now if i wanna check where is the best place to go to so as to rest me heart at ease?

Try Sun Hup Tyre since u frequent JB. They are using the Hunter machine high speed balancing rather than the old scooter type. U go there lok c lok c u'll know.

The best is do in s'pore rather that j.b.I try the infra-red type and the normal type before in j.b.Feel the same as bro LMF ride. When i re alightment in s'pore,found out that they the wheel alightment is out by few deg.Maybe their machine did not calibrate.So for alightment i still prefer to do in s'pore.
