Wheel Alignment & Geometry Setup

Wheel Alignment & Geometry Setup

The most overlooked part of your suspension

If you’ve fitted coilovers, air suspension, or even just lowered your car, the original wheel alignment is no longer correct.

It’s the difference between a car that feels solid and predictable and one that just doesn’t feel right.

We see it all the time at PRJKT ZERO. Cars with thousands spent on parts, but no proper setup to match.

So, what is wheel alignment?

Wheel alignment, often called geometry, is about how your wheels are positioned and how they move.

The main elements are:

  • Camber - wheel tilt inwards or outwards
  • Toe - direction the wheels point in or out
  • Caster - The forward or backward tilt of the steering axis ( SnapBack on the steering) 

These directly affect:

  • Handling
  • Stability
  • Tyre wear
  • Steering feel

If any of these are off, the car won’t drive properly.

Lowered your car? Factory settings don’t apply anymore

As soon as you change the ride height:

  • Suspension angles change
  • Factory specs become irrelevant
  • Tyre wear increases if not corrected

This applies whether you’re running:

  • Coilovers  
  • Lowering springs
  • Air suspension

Why proper geometry setup matters

A proper setup is not a small tweak. You will feel the difference straight away.

Done properly, it will:

  • Improve handling instantly
  • Extend tyre life
  • Make the car safer at speed
  • Remove instability under braking or cornering

Not all alignment is the same

Basic tracking ≠ proper geometry.

At PRJKT ZERO, we use the Hunter Hawkeye Elite system. It is one of the most accurate alignment systems available.

This allows:

  • Precise adjustments
  • Live data feedback
  • Accurate before/after reports

PRJKT ZERO Geometry Setup (Stockport, Manchester)

Every setup includes:

  • Full geometry check
  • Adjustment of camber, toe and caster where applicable
  • Ride height balancing
  • Setup based on how the car is actually used

Daily, fast road, track or stance builds all need different setups.
