Before picking shocks/springs for the cerb (im definitely needing to replace), can someone advise just how much of a specialist job geometry setup is? im wondering whether to let an indie tvr specialist do it, do most indies have sufficient knowledge to properly set up suspension? or should I take it so a suspension guru somewhere? Im based in luton, beds.

There are indies and indies so no definite answer, I am getting some Ohlins fitted next week and using APM for this, he has done a lot of suspension work on the Cerb and also has a good track record with the Tuscan series so will just follow his advice and let him get on with it - other indies without this track record who knows? NickCCC was however singing the praises of the setup he got from Matt @ Silverstone Performance which will be a better location for you than APM so could be worth investigating.

Most of the Indies can fit suspension and then offer to set it up based on your requirements. Joolz at Track Car Solutions tends to specialize in this area and has a very good reputation, plus is only a 2 hour drive away just off junc 29 of the M1....

I'm getting my Ohlins checked today.

They've been on 12 months, but I'm sure somethings amiss.

At high speed, the slightest steering movement seems to make the car "snake".

Very unnerving smile
