Hey guys

First post here, so hello!

I have a Clio 172 and will soon start using it on track. However, I have noticed that when cornering hard I can feel the front outside tyre leaning on the sidewall and loosing grip. I could also do with getting the geometry checked on my car prior to tracking.

So what I am thinking is getting my geometry done and also getting some camber bolts for the front and having a degree or 2 of camber put on.

Does anyone know of anywhere good in Hampshire that would do this? Ideally I would like to go somewhere with my Clio and a couple of camber bolts and say "Hi, please set this up for fast road and track use, with a bit of camber on the front" and for them to set it up right. I don't really know whats the best setup, and definately dont have the tools (who keeps a laser alignment rig in their shed? smile).

Any advice?

Cheers guys.

Ah, didn't realise K Tec were that close. Only 30 miles (Im in Southampton) so will drop them a line.

Ring around people with hunter gauges, they cost so much to buy in that generally speaking only your best garages will bother

Its more finding someone who understands what a fast road setup requires, and is happy to fit camber bolts and set them up correctly.

The place round the corner from me has a laser alignment machines (dont know which) but if I asked them to fit camber bolts and setup the geometry for fast road and track they wouldn't know where to start, if they even agreed to do it at all.

Fair enough! K tec's reputation says they are the best place to try for this sort of thing then!
