I would recommend a visit to Powerstation in Cheltenham as they have a good 4 wheel laser alignment rig. They will give you whatever settings you require but the Bump Steer Mod at the same time is a must!!!

Cool

I'll second that. Powerstation are ace.

You wouldn't have the prodrive settings (which attempt to reduce bump steer as I understand, best of a bad job IMO) and the bump steer mod done.

Once the bump steer mods been done you would set everything pretty much to normal surely ?

Anyway, I had prodrive geometry (less understeer, crap steering feel) then the bump steer mod a month later - much better, just get this done first time and save yourself some cash.

Does anyone know of anybody in the Guildford area who are good at sorting out tracking etc and are Prodrive settings aware?

I know, I know, but I'm trying to get something sorted before Donno and won't get time to get to Cheltenham beforehand...

So, anyone??

Simon,

Try getting hold of Mill Lane Engineering at Basingstoke. They are a Subaru main dealer and have all the wheel alignment equipment there!

Give Charles Figgins a call on 01256 780790.

Hope this helps

Hi,

I was told by Bell & Colvil that they use Guildford Tyres who are by the petrol station, next to the Cricket ground (Woodbridge Road).

Question

Gary,

I have read reference to the "bump steer" mod in quite a few posts, but still remain a little confused as to what this is exactly. How much does it cost, and what kind of improvements does it give over the already great Impreza handling?
