Question

After getting my STi II serviced by Powerstation, and being very impressed with their quality and service (excuse the pun ), I am seriously thinking about letting them lose on my suspension.

I have read many previous posts, where people have raved about how much better the car feels after having the bumpsteer and geometry done. But what I want to know is, does the car actually handle better or just feel better, or are the two things the same.

Ian.
STi II.

Ian - do a search in Suspension for this much talked about subject.

Personally, I couldn't believe how much better the car feels since having it done (but then the factory settings were <B>way</B> out!!!! ).

I would totally recommend it!!!

Ian,

Definitely worth the money. Before I had my MY00 done she used to understeer terribly on roundabouts. Now I can attack them with much greater confidence. Point the car to go there......and she does!

The girlfriend just paid to get mine done for my christmas present. Instead of understeer you can get perfect 4 wheel drifts out of islands and silly speeds out of tight corners.

Just don't get scared and let off while cornering hard or t may hurt.

Jake did you pay £100 inc vat at powerstation as I got charged £140. inc vat on Saturday?
