where to get vehicle geometry/alignment setup
 
As above guys. In or around Southend on sea. I don't my a bit of travelling for the right service. Prices would be good aswell.:thumb:

If you just want a normal set up or maybe the prodrive settings then Elite in Rainham, if you want something more specialist the Mocom racing would be who I would use.

I get mine done at Elite, never had a problem.

There is a Tyre Place in Pitsea that has Hunter4 allignment technology and a good at what they do, it,s along the High Rd opposite the Gala bingo hall.

Supertyres in Maldon :) set Mikes car up lovely ! :cool:

I didn't even think of Elite's and I work in Rainham. Thanks guys I'll give them ago.

I've just fitted a new set of BC coilovers. Will I need to fit rear camber/caster bolts?

Exactly what I would have said. :thumb:

Paul&bon 24 March 2011 04:23 AM

Any prices? Both Elite & Mocom.

Supertyres in maldon, about £90. Plus they won't let it leave unless it spot on. They took 2 hours doing mine but it was worth it.

Haed mine done a couple of years ago at Elites. It was about £114 odd quid, and if you don't have an aftermarket ARB or droplinks, they try to sell you some.

Was it because they set your car up on the agricultural geometry settings :D

Chris, was this recently? As am not sure if you are aware they have recently changed hands. I think it was around 6 months ago iirc. I found there customer service to be fine.

On another note if the OP had said he would travel further a field i would have recomended FB tuning. Although never had alignment done by Rich, i have had other work done and his workmanship is second to none.

It was about 18 months ago so you may be right and things may have changed but to do that they would have had to sack ALL the staff, a change in management would have left the same idiot greasemonkeys twatting around like the world owed them a living.

I did say I don't mind a bit of travelling. A 2 hour drive isn't that bad.:lol1:
