Default Alignment needed Oxfordshire

My 08 hatch STI has an annoying trait. If I lift off throttle mid corner, it turns in. This happens both ways and I'm not talking high g forces, just normal driving. Now I like a little lift off oversteer but this is way beyond reasonable. The car also feels nervous in a straight line. I would like to get the alignment checked before adding things. I'm not the first owner of the car so it may have been got at before. So far the only mods I can see are uprated ARBs and new front struts (but not springs).
Can anyone recomend a place to setup the alignment please. I should add the car is for pure road use.

If you are prepared to drive out to Warwick, Peter Cambridge of PCA Dynamics, ex Prodrive and Bilstein, is your man for 4 wheel alignment. The advantage of using him is that if your issues are other than alignment, he will advise. Plus he is a very nice, very knowledgeable chap. He has a website.

Thanks. He's about an hour from me so not too bad.

He rents the alignment ramp at Protyres Warwick. It was about 150 quid , depending on what needed doing.
