If you have a set up that you wish to be put on the car, we can do that.
But not having experience of the the car, I would be reluctant to just guess

I looked high and low for a corner-weighting service anywhere locally to Herts. Couldn't find anywhere at all until I got lead to a place called Rat Race in Potters Bar that does.

Thanks - good shout. Will give them a call - my new project is nearing completion so need corner weighting and geo set up.

I'm pretty sure this is something Finishline UK can do - they're based in Gravely (near Stevenage).

I never knew what it was until Chris @ Finishline explained it to me...

Gave my little RS Megane a run out at Snetterton since Northampton Motorsport did the set up which I wasn't fully convinced on but as it's what they do I went with especially the height difference from front to rear, although if I wasn't happy I could return for a free tweak and adjustment and I've gotta say once I put it hard into bends I couldn't believe how well it handled and gripped.

Certainly going forth they'll be whom I'm using for my suspension set ups! I've no affiliation with them I should say and it was the first time I'd ever been to the place.

I went on a day there was 78 race team cars testing and 8 road legal, race teams were running slicks and some where very quick around. I was seeing times of 2 minutes 21-25secs which was pretty pleased with for its first real outing my brakes were a weak point.

My proper seats have finally returned from having frames fabricated and then powder coated so next time won't get thrown around like a rag doll either.
