Default pro grip tomorrow

At long last she's almost done. pro grip tomorrow to have the coilovers checked and set. She's driving like a tanker so tomorrow will be interesting. I'll let you know how she goes for anyone thinking about getting theirs done.

yep he is good, knows his stuff, asks all the right questions before he dials in your suspension. The car was in 2hrs dead and had pretty much everything tweaked. She was firm at the back (skipping all over the place) so that was softend a touch so she sits more on the surface, the camber was taken to 1.5 which is as aggresive as you would want to go for fast road use, any more and your in for some tyre shredding! true test will come next week at Knockhill. I put the DCCD into lock on the twisties back home and she was SSSSSSSSSSSSSuperb! Damn those Ohlin coilovers

Given that everything Scooby related costs a fortune, this has to be the best value mod Ive had done - £63 inc vat!!

John is the man when it comes to car set up. He does all the work on all mine and my families cars. I don't trust anyone else

So that was £63 to set up the suspension AND align?

Good value for money!

Yep, 2 hrs work, keep the chat to a minimum and he'll put in a shift. The machine does all the technical stuff, he puts the settings in that hes discussed with you then the machine starts to do its stuff. I have ohlin coilovers so he tinkered about and softened the ride, she was firm (as they say) and skipping about at the back, shes more planted now but Saturday will be the test. You can have ride height done as well, just talk to him and let him know what your after.

Had her at Knockhill today and she was good but theres room for improvement, further adjustment required so a trip back to Progrip required for fine tuning.
