Took the car to Powerstation today for fitting of Eibach prokit springs and to work their magic with the wheel alignment and bump steer. Arrived and handed the car to Nick, who set working on it with mucho enthusiasm did the back struts first as he likes the easier fronts at the end. Could not get the nearside rear as close as he wanted it so offered to fit an eccentric bolt to get it there (Dirk let me off the labour as the whole suspension had been done....CHEERS) After fine tuning back and front, Nick wanted to frame the print out as it was THAT CLOSE.
Cannot give much on results yet as it needs to be driven but, steering response is amazing!!!
I would like to say Thanks to Powerstation for an excellent service (especially NICK, who explained what he was doing and why he was doing it in a very informative manner)and I look forward to more visits.

John.

 

Hi David

It's been a couple of months now since you had the bumpsteer mod done. Have you noticed an increase in tyre wear? (not including the enthusiatic driving style that bumpsteer removal encourages!)

Another thing I'd like to know - I'm not an expert in a Scoob by any means and I don't want to change the car's generally forgiving nature. Now that you've had a chance to drive a modified car for a while, what do you reckon? Is it the sort of set-up likely to bite your a**e if you get it wrong?

Cheers m8
