Hi all

just picked up my CSL today and found that it feels quite understeery even with the DSC turned off. I've read that it should have front camber changes made to -2 deg.

Does this have to be done by KDS or can I take it to a laser alignment place?

KDS, also check tyre pressures, I've posted the recommended geo in the RTAB thread on here.

Are you running cups? They aren't great in these conditions until they've warmed up a bit so a bit of slip sliding is to be expected.

Not running cups. Do they do a KDS as part of the warranty check?

No.

Anyone know how much a KDS setup is ?

About £200 from memory.

Checked the tyre pressures and found that the monkeys at the dealer had set them to the wrong pressure

Driving with the correct settings has made a big difference.

Is there a particular reason why the KDS has to be used instead of laser?

KDS is camber, caster, toe, ride height, pretty sure some laser places don't have the ability to measure and alter all of them, if you know somewhere that will do all the adjustment then give it a bash.
