Suspension Guru needed
Can anyone recommend anywhere that really knows their stuff when it comes to suspension/ geometery setup, I mean corner weighting etc if the car needs drop links/ anti lift/ thicker roll bars/ extra camber bolts all that stuff
and really knows how to set it all up for fast road/ trackdays.
I am in South Yorkshire willing to travel, I have seen Balance Motorsport but they are down near Brighton which would be a real good hike
If anyone knows or can recommend such a suspension guru please let me know

I've used TSL near Nottingham for some of the suspension work on my car and would recommend them.
Quite a few people on here use Scooby Clinic near Chesterfield and Carnetix in Melton Mowbray.

Powerstation are very good. My Sti V was a revelation with their bump steer and geometry adjustment.
Depending on the age of your car the recommendations will vary. On my Sti V I had solid rear drop links, anti-lift, uprated rear ARB, PS bump steer mod and geometry. This worked extremely well and the car was fast on track with the standard shocks. I did change to AST and had the car corner weighted and I actually preferred the way it was before (more a comment on AST than the corner weighting).
Now I have a Spec C with uprated rear ARB and EXE-TC with Prodrive geometry. Very, very good. It needs less to handle supremely well.

Did Powerstation do the corner weighting ? I think this is what needs looking at first, The car is already fitted with adjustable coilovers but is far from a standard Scooby and could do with seeing were the weight is and setting up from there with whatever it needs, It does handle well and grips like a b**tard but I want to know I am getting the most out of the much lower overall weight, Looks like a trip to Powerstation as they seem to be getting the most hits
