Another vote for Dave Coe, not used them myself for tracking but others rave about him.

Is it a full geometry set up your after or just wheel alignment? i'd recomend Powerstation, Tewksbury, for the geometry set up, £80 +vat, BTW you may need camber bolts to set it up properly iro £40 a pair

I had my car done there a while back and they definitely carried out geometry and alignment, it was a totally different car afterwards and not a black one either.

I'd also recommend Powerstation, they did a full geo setup on my track car a couple of years ago. Didn't see the equipment Dave Coe's use but Powerstation's is top notch.

Been to daves and he sorted my alignment, front was toeing out alot so he put that where it should be and the camber was more or less already on prodrive settings so happy days. Rear roll bar on next, picking it up tomorrow so should be on by the elan run.

Glad to hear you are happy with the alignment, Dave is a cracking bloke and his prices aren't too bad either.
