Have a look in the Yellow Pages for a place that does a full 4 wheel alignment. You're looking for a place that uses a Hunter alignment machine or similar and preferably somewhere who has a technician with some experience of using it.

Expect to pay between £80 and £110 for a proper set up !

My local KwikFit have a fancy Hunter 4 wheel alignment machine but, the don't have a clue how to use it (even though it instructs you step by step through the process) or of what they are trying to achieve ! :lol: :doh:

What are you on about; they are masters in suspension set-ups, using state of the art technology that makes them one of the market brand leaders within the suspension tuning world.

Thanks for the reply's but i was thinking more along the line of a suspension specialist like

http://www.centergravity.co.uk/

But they want £450 + VAT for a full set up which inc corner weighting, ride height setup and geo. They want £200 + VAT for a geo on its own. I didn't know if the guy's that do track day's had the car's set up by a turner or someone with a good rep.

Thanks

I have to agree with Davey on the kwikfit thing i wouldn't let them touch a radio controlled car. But i can only speak of the "A" holes by me.

are they:shock: :?
funny i popped into my local branch,2month ago, after having gabs fitted,so i was in need of toe alignment, castor,four wheel lazer alignment,then i looked at the acne faced youth who looked confused and bewildered,and walked out,so yeah andy boy they seem world leaders mate, i think not squire,then i went to a well recommended guy who was confident
in the task ahead,and done a great job.
ps why dont they advertise how good they are on suspension setup, when they are on tv?
instead of constantly saying 40%off tyres?
and jumping up and down in their grey overalls banging there feet together:oops:

you cant get better than a kwik fit fitter,where the ones to trust
oh yes you can get better

kwik fit may have the best equipment but i would not trust them to change a wheel! just the same as formula 1 top equipment but no one to use it properly

£450:shock: :der:
tell them to fcuk off,
as paul mentioned earlier,
you can get it done for 60/120quid,
but more important is finding someone with a good rep and experience.
