Thanks for replying.I once made the mistake of getting my bike suspension done by a "big" name,cost lots more than a local firm and was complete rubbish.I don't want to make that mistake again.

Regardless of their great reputation to help my initial decision 2yrs ago, Tracktive Solutions walk the walk. If my car's real world results in ScoobySprint and other Tracktive cars taking part in this years ScoobySprint and this years Tracktive TA cars results are anything to go by.

Dyno figures mean squat on their own. Talking the talk means even less!
