Default Geo set up, where in Manchester?

Guys need a geo set up but want a place that knows what they're doing... Can anyone recommend anywhere as I'll need it done pretty soon...

Have a cruise down the M6 to Chevron they seem to get very good reviews when it comes to suspension set up.

Wouldn't mind although am sure chevron would be too busy to get me in and out just for a geo set up.. Leaving the car isn't an option as id need it its my daily..

I've used ABP in the past, last place I used was Demon Tweeks in Wrexham. Both set-ups have been fine.

Prosport in Stockport?
Adgespeed in Irlam?
Or I'm sure Brian @ Cams will know someone in Lancs

whats the spec of your wrx is it a sti? what wheels and suspension do you have?

only asking as mine is a stock wrx hawk and ive just fitted 18x8's so i want to see if i can get it tracked well enough with stock adjustment or do i have to go down coilover with adjustable camber top mounts route..

cheers!

I've travelled from Leeds to Drury Lane Services at Oldham a number of times for geo on many different cars and always been very happy.

The day i posted my reply to this thread i rang drury lane as there name has come up alot online. I rang them at about 3pm and they had my car booked in for 4am

The reason i wanted alignment was because my steering wheel was off center since fitting my 18's and drury lane have squared my wheel up and got all the tracking in the correct limits.

Very happy, i will be going back when i get my rear camber bolts or coilovers!

Hi guys, sorry late reply been on hols

Ok so went chevron, added were front and rear 22mm anti roll bars and camber bolts on all four corners...

The time spent on the car was around 5/6 hours, set up with fast road in mind. The car does handle great around corners now Simon did mention next step was change the top mounts to run more castor and add centre roll kit...

Price wise this wasn't cheap but like all things you get what you pay for...

We're you given a print out of your new alignment and geometry setting?
Only asking as I'm curious, don't want to see it, copy it or anything like that!
I know they didn't used to provide customers with this?

Actually wasn't given a print out joe, only realised on the way back to many and was pretty annoyed with myself too as I would of liked to of seen what sort of set up was done

Drives well and corners great now though

Didn't think you'd get one mate,
My advise is take it to your local get place get them to put the lasers and guages on it, then gem them to give you a print out of how it is currently set.
That way if for any reason you need to disturb things, you can take it somewhere and give them the print out to re instate the settings without having to spend big bucks again!
