Question

Gatwick Subaru are doing this for £65+VAT.
This is the same sort of money as PE charge and from what I read on here they really know their stuff. So I want to make sure that Gatwick are just as good for the money, has any one used them?.
Cheers.
Ian.

£99+VAT bl##dy hell. I used to have the car Opteflex'ed for £45 quid but the garage can't do it until mid September.
Any one know somewhere good that I can get this done. I hit a pothole so I just need re-alignment but the car has Prodrive suspension so people like National won't do it.
Cheers.

Ian,

I'm looking for the same thing and also have Prodrive suspension - why can't this be aligned by National? Is it 2 or 4 wheel alignment you're after?

What's Opteflex all about then?

Cheers,
James

Try http://www.powerstation.org.uk they are in Cheltenham but well worth the journey as they are considered one of the best in the country for 4 wheel alignment.

Powerstation are the people I would too recommend. I only take my Scoob to them for alignment work. Whilst you're there, ditch the Prodrive settings and get the real deal - the Bump Steer Mod plus decent geometry!! You will be

JV, its all 4 wheels but National won't do lowered/modded suspension.
Optiflex I guess is the name of the machine that does the 4 wheel alignment. Sounds more like something for the eyes.
PE is quite exspensive and far away, might bite the bulit and try a place someone mentioned in Ukfeild(sp).
Cheers.

Don't know who you dealt with, but I've used them since I bought my car new from them, and both John and Dave have always been very friendly and helpful.

Dave was talking to me a couple of weeks ago about their geometry set up and a few other goodies they now offer (includng the anti-lift kit). But they don't do the bumpsteer mod.

Bought WRX from Gatwick Subaru and have had many mods added recently. Dave is the man and he knows what he is talking about.
Just had geometry check which made a huge difference. Also quoted me £65 +vat.
Had rear anti roll bar fitted, Ibax springs and anti lift kit. Would definitely recommened. Dave McC, book it in mate, you won't regret ot!
