BMTR on the Walsall Rd at Perry Barr have a full 4 wheel alignment system & do some of the work for Porsche Sutton Coldfield. They have reset the suspension on a couple of cars, though they weren't in any way modified - best to call them & see what they can do. Center of Gravity are very good, though you will have to usually wait for an appointment as they are very well subscribed but also very thorough which is all shown in the cost - I have used them as well & Chris is highly thought of by his customers.

Chemix in stourbridge are fantastic, they did the alignment on my old car through my independant, they speak very highly of Simon there, he does all of their highend sports car/racecar set up

Used to use Chemix until one of their longer serving guys branched out on his own, have been using his place ever since:

Seriously knows his stuff and more reasonably priced than BMTR or Chemix.

Will set up either to OEM spec or will discuss options based on your preference.

You can have all the best gear in the world but if you don't know how to use it, it's pointless. Also the operator needs to understand what affects any changes he makes will have on the handling charachteristics, many don't have a clue. Also no point doing a proper alignment if bits of the suspension have seen better days or not fitted properly again many places don't bother to check and are just happy to take your cash.

These are some of the reasons C of G are booked up for months.

Another thumbs up from me for Aline.
They can be a bit busy but Kevin offers a great service and very reasonable prices

I couldn't recommend them more. Chris set up my s2k on Monday this week and it's been a dream to drive ever since.

Here's a pic smile
