Default Alignment help

Where is the best place to take my blob wagon to have all the geo & alignment carried out nearest to Oxford??
I have just fitted BC coilovers, poly bushes & new tyres, i now want it all set up correctly. Also what are the best settings to use for the odd spirited back road blast?

Thanks

If you want to really push the boat out I'd say you'd have a tough time beating RCM or PowerStation, although both are a bit of a distance from you!

You can always get a dealer to do Prodrive settings, which aren't bad.

Geometry settings info galore

Speaking from experience, I wouldn't use Powerstation. Any garage with a Hunter type system, and take in your own settings should be good. Only yhing is they need to be aware the front cambers can be adjusted

I had mines done by James at Greenwood Racing just over a year ago. Both he and FB Tuning are your closest options otherwise like said take your your own alignment figures to a local station, although I wouldnt trust any old garage with your car unless they are specialists. Prior to taking it to Greenwood, JemCar in Colindale did my alignment and f**cked it up. Apparently I was told by the workshop manager sent the best man for the job to do it - yeah right. Never again.

Bonesetter/Arnie1 are your men for suspension and alignment issues.

Hi Bonesetter,

What was wrong with Powerstation?? Just had them do a geo setup on my car today. Did you have a bad experience with them?
