Maffa,
geometry can be carried out at any 4 wheel alignment centre.
You will find that generally speaking each individual would like slightly different handling charactoristics, some prefer more oversteer, some prefer less etc. etc.
A good place to start would be to get maximum equal negative camber on the front which will probably be around 1 deg 20 minutes and combine this with 0.05 deg toe in per side. Adn at the rear set this to 1 deg negative camber with 0.03 deg toe in per side.
Should cost you about £60.

Local main dealer over near hastings (Culverwells ) has a full laser align comptuer readout wonder-gizmo ..
& yes .. they will also service your conbine-harvester !
wouldnt say they know what TSL or Prodrive setting are, but i'm sure that if you give them the settings on a peice of paper they'll do them for you.
they supposidly put prodrive setting on mine .. but never got a printout to check exatcly what they did do !
but I'm sure there must be a place nearer to you Maffa!

After hearing all the praise from my mates about the TSL geometry set up I would love to get it done after fitting my new wheels & springs but it's a hell of a trek from Horsham to Nottingham to spend just £110.00. I could justify it if I was getting more done. Is there anywhere down south that will do a full geometry set up? If so what is the best set up in your opinion because not being a whizz on the subject i've only heard of the TSL & Prodrive settings.
Oi & no sarky comments like "spend more then!!"

I was thinking about taking mine to Powerstation to get the geometry checked/fit a front strut brace. Let me know if u fancy a mini-convoy over there sometime .

Come on guys, you pays your money but you can use any where that will do 4 wheel alignment as Steve says above.
Maffa, you don't really have to know what all that means just tell the operator that these are the settings you require. Ofcourse if you do the research and learn how different camber/toe settings affect the handling traits you car will portray it can only benefit you.

Thanks Mo I might just look into it
Markus. May be up for that. If you get a quote let me know & i'll see if I can find out what geometry set up I need. One thing's for sure, after the lowering springs & 18" wheels go on it's gonna need it . Not that it doesn't need it anyway
Oh & SD thanks mate
