Take your own settings and go anywhere with a Hunter machine!

That is good advice, but I found not many people seem to want to part with their setups. It would make it cheaper I suppose.

What kind of setup are you looking for? Track or fast road?

Another vote for carnetix.

Forget supposed "settings" and go and talk to them.

they will explain what they can, and can't do, according to the car and model.
They will then discuss things with you like extra tyre wear, and what the settings are likley to do for you.

THEN they do the work, and take you out in it, trying it first to see if their work is OK, before handing over to you to see if it feels right.

Fixed prices too.

GREAT set of people, you can't go wrong.

at the moment, im running the setup done by powerstation, wear seems a little aggressive on the inside of the front tyres, would ideally like a fast road setup without too much of the front tyre wear, i've also purchased a set of camber bolts for the rear, would altering this improve the handling or best leave alone

I think mine was around £120 but that was two years back.

Here you go: http://www.carnetix.co.uk/contact.htm

And do NOT be put off by the fact that one of them is a lass: she knows more about Scoobs than most folk on here.

as you haven't stated whereabouts you are, does it mean you are prepared to travel anywhere?

Mine goes to Simon at Chevron Motorsport, where i've had his 'sprint' settings.
Also changed the rear ARB to the hardest setting with adjustable camber bolts.
Feels a lot better than OE Prodrive GEO. Less understeer & better turn in!
The wear on the inner edge is a load better, to boot!

Also got Perrin solid front & rear drop links, with Perrin ALK.

Front & rear bars may be next...

Along with some AD08's

Are you still getting understeer? What bars are you running?

AD08's for sure, just need to get the winter weather out the way

Yep, still get a little understeer when pushing it!
Just not as much as before

Had a mate in a 3.2 Audi TT try & follow me through a wet twisty section.
He was amazed I wasn't understeering & washing out like he was

Why not start a thread in the suspension forum? You should be able to reduce understeer and increase overall grip levels
