Question Where to get the Gemetry sorted?

I want the Geometry re done on my Legacy when i replace the Goodyear F1's (Probably in the new year). I went to TSl and got it done a year ago. I can't fault them but all the egdes on all the tyres are gone. I had the set up done to get the best handling (If you can call it that on a Legacy estate) so is that to be expected. I travelled to Nottingham (TSL) all the way from Manchester so a similar distance would not be a problem as long as the job is done well.

should I go back to TSL or do you guys (and girls) have any suggestions (and contact details).

Should a handling Geometry scrub all the edges of the tyres up?!!!

Thanks

Aaquil.

Perfect thread timing for me!

Power Engineering in Uxbridge have quoted me £100-ish + VAT for this. Anyone been there before, recommend them and is that a bit pricey?

Cheers

Power station, Power station or TSL...bearing in mind I want a top job as I will be driving there from Manchester!!! If I take new tyres (UNFITTED) will they fit them then do and then do the geometry or do I need to fit new tyres first and give them a chance to 'bed in'?

Any experience with PROSPORT in terms of clutch fitment. I have had excellent service on smaller jobs and Peter is a real gentleman (They wash your car as well - mine is a J-reg banger!!!). I want to know price wise for a good clutch (AP? Sti as before?). Anyone had any experiences?

Do you mean that both edges of each tyre were worn, or that the outside (only one edge) of each tyre was worn?

If both edges of each tyre were worn, the alignment sounds about spot on (though maybe slightly under inflated tyres) - so why bother having it reset?...
