Try Gatwick Subaru - Dave Hollamby (01293 429824) at Crawley - not too far - they do a full geo check. Get him to put a whiteline arb on at the same time if you haven't already....

Looking to do a deal on a STI on Sat hopefully fingers x'd, and just want everything set right from day one

Whitline ARB difference is that to OEM thicker/thinner ?

... a bit thicker (21 or 22mm can't remember) therefore stiffer with better droplinks

It kills the understeer and is a cracking cheap mod - that plus the geo check completely transformed my UK classic

don't know where you are in kent mate, but if you're near dartford tunnel there's Elite in rainham that did a fine job on my classic and a company called Mocom Racing (there's a site link in the essex section) that are in North Weald that seem to have had good reports

i'll be heading to one of these myself when i get my **** in gear

Im in Chatham, and always used to go to Elite ever since they sorted bad geometry on a Ford I owned a few years back after the wife kerbed it softly in the snow. No-one local could get it right.

But, I have just had the full T25 setup put on mine, so wont need anything done for a while.

Best to allow a morning as you seem to wait for an hour.
