Jimi,

I would recommend you bite the bullet and head up to Keyworth (near Nottingham), the TSL geometery set-up is fantastic.

Accuracy to a minute on the camber and the 0.1mm on the toe!

There is a fixed price for doing the work no mater how long it takes as well.

I know Rum has taken his Sti up there and there are plenty of other owners that trust the settings.

The only downside is that a simple visit might cost you a little more than you expect.

Mark

Jimi,

TSL seriously know what they are doing the camber on my car is within 1 minute of eah other and the toe is within a few posints of a mm!!

They have the proper set-up specifications from SUbaru to do the work and some of the most accurate measuring equipment, as you might have noticed from being able to do a minute (1/60th of a degree (I think))!

Also free coffee, comfy seating area, a workshop that looks like a surgary!

If I didn't think they were up to the job I would never recommend them!

Just remember to say "No" to Paul!

I went up there once to look around and then found my car getting bits put on it with alarming speed and regularity!

Maybe I just like the tea (if Paul ever manages to remember to make it!)!

Hey Jimi - sure thing if you wan't to go up I am probably going up the week beginning 5th Aug.

Only problem with TSL is there are just too many goodies laying around that seem to stick to you car as you leave with a slightly lighter wallet..
