Depends where about in Scotland you are, there are lots of local places that can do this type of setup, if you tell us the area then I'm sure you'll get local recommendations.

A few in the central area are

AWD Motorsport in Perth (they take it somewhere else for you)
or Star performance or Falkland Performance in Glenrothes

Up in Highland Region (Fort William). Plenty of Highland Coo and chicken specialists but not many for Scoobs.
Been to AWD before - did'nt know that they did this. Know of anyone in Inverness area?

Al, was in FW not that long ago and hunted high and low for SUL.

Seen a few scoobs, the most memorable being a white WRX sti with red mud-flaps.

You can get the bumpsteer mod at Falkland as well.

I've used a place in Sighthill Edinburgh a couple of times - very good. CL CM/Autotyre - Bankhead Drive - 0131 453 2698.

Made quite a difference to the handling - not connection to me, but highly recommended.

I'll second the recommendation for CLCM in Sighthill.

Myself and a few other EVO owners I know get our geometry/alignment done there. Speak to the owner Willie.

No SUL in Fort William yet - or Optimax. Car you saw is a local, nice machine.
Mine is a red/blue wagon. Usually with a big red psycho dog looking out the back window

i dont recomend people but on this ocassion i will. the best person for the job is kenny brown motor engineering in hilington. kenny is used by lots of the rally crowd. for example at the mo he is rebuilding 1 of colin mcrae's ex rally cars for a boy. he really knows his stuff. he set up the geometry on chris wagners audi coup which won the jim clark 2 years ago. sorry for going on but i really have alot of respect for the guy and this is coming from someone in the trade himself.his number is 01418826757
