Default Coilover setup

Anyone know of anywhere they can set my coilovers up?

They were already on a car I bought and I adjusted what I thought was the height, but turned out to be the load settings. Now I've swapped them on to my car, every bump in the road is followed by at least 6 more bumps on the suspension!

I live quite close to Elite's, but not entirely sure if they do it.
Is it something I should have a go at myself? Not after race set up, its not an Impreza, just don't want the bounces.

As Dan said, go Skidmarques in Hutton. Great service and really know what they are doing.

Do they definitely do coilover set up?
Their website is pretty comprehensive in regards to services and pricing, just no mention of coilovers.

Just give them a call mate, I'm sure they will be more than helpful.

Was a bit late so I filled out one of their online question things.

Coilovers are D2 Streets on a Forester.

Thanks Ian. Not sure if I will have much time to do it, unless I take the kids on a saturday.
The car is pretty bad at the moment, so I'll have to have a go at adjusting them myself, just to get it driving OK. Been watching some video's on it.
I'm not even sure if I'll get on with them at all, so may end up putting the standard shocks on it, if I can't get it set to standard height.
