Default Alignment in Middx/NW London?

Anyone know a good place for wheel alignment for my Spec C in the NW London/ Middx area? I had Powerstation do an excellent job of it when I bought the car 6 months ago but its too far to go now just for alignment.

ps I assume that I do need to get the car alignment done again if Im changing only my springs to Eibach springs? Or is there anyhting else I can do rather thandoing full alignment again

Wheels in motion is just down the road from me Ricky. Professional looking garage but they didn't seem to have any real subaru knowledge when I asked about mine. You'd need some figures for them to work to if you went there IMHO

I can't recommend DSA in Aylesbury enough. Well worth the little drive. Had a full geometry set-up there and they took almost two hours doing it all and getting it right. Think it was something like £75 after SIDC member's discount.

We actually worked out a custom geometry too to suit what I wanted. They really know their stuff!

Well i have no problems evolving calibrations for our cars in the British Drift Championship (2nd this season) or the ones in ProDrift or Timed Attack or Toyota Sprint to mention a few.

I have the Prodrive data but that's only applicable to a suitably modified chassis and since the Scoob is not deemed as a problem chassis, proven calibration positions here would act as a valuable source for information.

Anyone or company who says they "know it all" is a liar, I've been involved in chassis dynamics for 30yrs and still have a lot to learn.
