Default Coilover fitting in Blackburn area *OR* Carlisle area

I work in Accrington in the week and live in Carlisle at the weekends. Anyone know a garage around either that could fit coilovers & camber bolts and do an alignment? I'm most likely going to use Scooby Spares but its a bit of a mission to arrange getting my car there.

Anyone?

James - there is an Elise place in church that do the suspension set ups , have heard some good comments about them too.

Just found the web page - Phoenix Motorsport

I haven't used them myself though.

I ended up going with Ant at AD Emundson at Darwen. He was the only one that I rang that could offer a 4 wheel alignment.

Very impressed with the work. They had issues with the alignment due to some tired rear bushes (Ill get the Legacy booked in for when I get back from working away) so it took them longer than expected but they kept going until it was as close to perfect as they could get. They did not have to do this, they could have fitted the coilovers then done an alignment and called it a day, but they kept on till it was perfect (well as perfect as it could be because of the trailing arm bushes).

The car drives like a million dollars now and I will DEFINITELY recommend them to other and will DEFINITELY take my car back again.
