Question

Not sure if this is in the right place but I'm looking to find out if anyone has good experiences of companies who could check the front-end alignment of my 02 WRX. Seems to be heavily scrubbing the inside of both front tyres and only done 7000 miles.

Would rather avoide a Kwik Fit or similar as I don't know the quality (unless someone can tell me differently).

Blackburn area ideally but more than happy to travel in the Scooby further afield.

HI YA.
I was born in Accy and still frequent many of the pubs on a Friday night.What colour model do you drive ? I'll give you a wave next time I'm in town.
Only place to do 4 wheel alignment in the area are Syd Browns
at Longridge (about £50 +vat)but they mentioned the bumper on my MY99 was to long for thier guages (lame excuse not to do it I think).
The only other place I've used was in Bolton (Thistlewaites I think they were called) but that was when I had a MG F.
I've been searching for the geometry to be set on mine ,and finally decided that the 2 hour trip to TSL was going to be worth it - especially as you get to see all the other available Mods while your there.

Thanks for the replies - Nantwich may be an option, I work in Warrington.

Wondered about Demon Tweeks in Wrexham. They do a lot of motorsport stuff and have a fitting centre. Anyone tried them?

But then again I trip to Nottingham could well be worth it.

BTW - blue/black 02 WRX (although on a 'Y' personal plate).

Had wheel alignment done at Tweeks on my old Punto GT - no probs and steering wheel was spot on in the centre, tyres wore down evenly etc... would use them again.

My dealer (Mainland Subaru in Widnes) sorted my geometry and did a good job (I had the Prodrive springs/geometry done at the same time)
Speak to Danny on 0151 495 2091.......

Good luck

Nick
