Well worth going to Powerstation for suspension set-ups. You get what you pay for....

Hi mate

Not sure what system he uses all i know is it is done on so many Minutes a wheel (mine was running at 40 minutes and they are now 80 minutes ) if that makes sence?

Price was about £70 - £90

Thats a long time

Thanks....

Was hoping Andy had invested in a tidy system..... was looking for a decent place closer than going all the way to powerstation...

Nice one

cheers for all the above. A+A tyres in cardiff when i spoke to them were not at all convincing. since then i've had a lengthy chat with ACE motorsport in newbridge who put my mind to rest. the only draw back is that from my understanding you have to leave the car there for a considerable amount of time, it cannot be done on a while you wait basis(or so it seems). which causes a bit of hassle. i also got the information that they do take the car off their own premises to do the alignment. the bonus of course is that you could get other bits n pieces fitted at the same time...i.e ALK, adjustable camber bolts, ARB etc. i will have to wait until i have time off work in order to travel to newbridge from cardiff and leave the car there.

CVC in cardiff would be the most convienient place to go, but do they do the proper laser guided job?

I asked them before they started and they said they got equipment to do it,it didnt take too long either. Give them a ring and ask
02920 222100.
Hope this helps

cheers for that, but i may wait a few weeks until i'm off work and make the trip to tewksbury, gloucester where power station is. it aint that bad a drive from cardiff, and they are the most recognised experts. i'm sure ACE motorsports know what they are doing, but i don't like the idea of having to leave my car there for any considerable length of time and then be stuck scratching my **** in newbridge for hours on end.
