You need the geometry set up on your car. My advice is take it to a local specialist & let them do it.

Many people choose to do this nowadays as they offer better value for money & impartial advice.

Should cost approx £100-120 from a independant specialist. I go to Carnetix/Tracktive at Melton Mowbray - great service and attitude there .

It's a bit of a treck for you, but I'd recommend Powerstation in Cheltenham. They charge £60 + VAT and do a top job on geometry.

That £200 must be for fitting the springs as well, surely! £80-90 is the most you should have to pay, using good laser equipment.
