Local geometry setup ???
 
Anyone know of somewhere in the Cambridgeshire area that do proper geo setups.
I'm in March and looking for somewhere local'ish who have all the equipment and know what they are doing.

Carl mentioned that Apex place to me too mate. I've found a place in Warboys called 'rising sun racing'.
Suppose I'll have to have a ring round and see what these places offer and for how much.

Do you want normal or fast road ?

I'm going apex this week for my work car so will ask them as I need mine doing as changing the suspension (again )

I'm just looking for a fast road setup to be honest.
If you could ask them what it'll cost that would be great.

Cheers fella :thumb:

Asked the oracle of Facebook see if anyone else has some suggestions

I'm also in March, I use A Reeve Performance at Kings Lynn.
He's got a Hunter machine, proper piece of kit. He'll set your car however you want it, standard or you tell him what settings you want and that's what you'll get.

It's about the going rate in the UK, I pay £20 at my local place out here, but I do have to give him a hand sometimes.:lol1:

I'd make the trip up to Melton and let Glen do it if I were you mate, just for the sake of a bit of fuel money you'll get a Subaru "expert" doing it and it'll be corner weighted with you in the car by someone that will come up with the best settings for your spec and intended use. Worth that little bit extra to get it right first time.;)

You miss understand it again,its not about Kwik-fit style allingment -with rope etc:lol1:
Op used magic word ''proper''
For Geo chevron and others will charge You 5h labour.
Its worth but expensive handling set up.

Another one that doesn't read what is actually written.:rolleyes:

The only person doing any miss-understanding is you.

Do you seriously think that someone who has been around subarus for 10yrs would recommend some backstreet outfit and a piece of rope.:wonder:

If you knew who Glen in melton was as i'm sure matt does then you'd know what I was talking about, but as usual you haven't got a clue and just spout off at every opportunity, now I'm trying to be polite to you but you make it very hard, may I suggest you engage your brain before putting your fingers into action.

FOA matt.
Last time I had a geo done at melton it was £90+ vat which is 2/3hrs labour, the price depends on whether or not nuts are seized as is often a problem on Classics, so I'd suggest a good spray with penetrating oil the day before of all associated nuts and bolts to ease the process.

He's worth the trip.:thumb:

MattyB1983 27 August 2014 11:00 PM

Thanks for all the replies fellas, it's a few weeks before I'm ready so it's deffo given me a few ideas.

taylor85 28 August 2014 08:53 AM

I went apex mate they only do standard set up ! But could only find uk set up nothing on imports or sti etc

He is going to give me a ring after weekend

thunder8 04 September 2014 04:55 PM

corner weighting is only good for coilover set ups ,me and matty running standard shocks i got teins and rear camber bolts matty got standard ra set up

plus all our bolts been off way to much for my liking so no seized ones there i bet in and out 1 to 2 hrs max

as for settings no one can give you proper figures just what they had done .

also heard funny enough pro drive set up are heavy on front inner tyres and actually the standard subaru setup is pretty good and thens theres custom setup.

rising sun racing is hardly ever open so i think around next payday i,m going to melton mowbrey
