Ian Grieve in Falkirk is you best place to go. Second choice S & S in Ayr.

Had my last impreza at Halley's not impressed also used them years ago for my Astra and they were a joke.

Another vote for S&S, free courtesy car too. Have had not a single bad things to say or happen in 2 years with them.

Haven't batted an eyelid about mods/eu import.

OK, one bad thing; they wouldn't de-tango the headlights.

And another!! Mine was in a few times there for warranty work involving shockers. The car has fast road geometry set up, front & rear strut braces, TSL 333 conversion, Prodrive springs and 18" PFF7's and no questions were asked. They offer a 10% discount to SIDC members too!!

Was the geometry re-done after the shockers replaced?

Interestingly enough - yes. I had a fast road set up and the inside of the front tyres was rubbing excessively. They set it to prodrive settings free of charge!!! Good old S&S!!!

Not with me they don't! After a suposed service when i bought the car the oil and air filter were black. They tried to claim it had been done just 2000 miles previously and didn't want to know. Grieve has been fine for me and if you have SIDC card you get 10% off.

I'm visiting them on monday re: rear shocks.

5t.

Hi,
newbie to Scoobynet, howdie!
I'm looking to get a legacy checked over and suspect it needs a bit of work. I'm also looking to get the most from it performance wise too. Engine work, remappped, etc.
Are Greer's a good option for this kind of work.
I've had a look through the forum and see a few places mentioned but they are the nearest to me. Them and the guys in Barrhead.
Cheers for any help in advance,
John.
