Hi, if you have got fully adjustable suspension (hi lo's,tie bar, bottom arms, rear camber brackets ect) which do you set up first. Having spent all day setting the sub frames up to each other and the body( the floor was very cold and now it's SNOWING).

gathering the engine is in as it will make a big difference to setting it up
i'd start with the hi-lo's and set the ride height you want
then adjust camber to your desired position if they are both adjustable?
and if you havent messed around with your steering rack i'd tighten up the tie rod until its straight
start with both the rears, then move on to the front
i can pull out a "ghetto" tracking method from my drift car set-up days if you want?
but its about £10 to get done at national tyres
and last but not least MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS TIGHTTTTTTT

Taking mine down to Dave Yardy in Northampton in a couple of weeks after swapping the brakes over next weekend,
fitted hilos, springs, adjustable arms and tie rods a few weeks back if your interested in a trip down aswell..
hes quoted me £25 per corner for tracking, castor, toe and camber adjustments...
