Has anyone taken their 350 in for a geometry setup / laser alignment?

I'm considering having this done at Demon Tweeks (because its 10 mins from home rather than a 150 mile round trip to the dealers that I've been using) - I've had all my other cars done by Tweeks and it makes a vast improvement - they are good and have some experience of Tivs.

Front NS wheel has been kerbed (hang my head in shame) whilst parking and I am sure it has knocked the geometry out as I am getting a fair degree of 'wander' from the steering.

Any related thoughts / experiences appreciated.

Just got back after having the geometry check done and it has made a huge difference.

The factory were good enough to supply the settings and the guys at Tweeks have done another great job - even faced with real difficulties getting the car up on the ramps.

It's improved the stability under engine breaking and on a trailing throttle an unbelievable amount, the return to centre seems much more positive as well.

The caster and camber weren't too bad but toe-in was all over the place.

Think I'll take the long (really long) way home this evening, it's lashing down so that'll spice things up a little.

Could I be cheeky and ask for the geometry settings for future reference?
