For memory they explained this was to save having the car corner balanced, but don't quote me on that - my memory isn't the best!
Karl,

TBH - letting Billy B16's settle for awhile - after install - is probably wise. Spending the time & $$$ to get the car setup too early after install is likely to lead to sub-optimal setup.

Enjoy,

BP,

Thanks for the advice. I just drove the car to Uxbridge for its PPF and roof wrap. It felt way firmer than the last ride on the stiffest setting so I imagine I'll be dialling it back to a slightly more softer setting for the time being until I track it.
