Jesus, where was that?! I had camber & toe set. They also tried to adjust my ride height and corner weights but my spring adjuster rings weren't playing ball. They actually removed the shocks and put them in a vice to try and get a better grip but gave up in the end as it needed a long WD40 soaking so put the whole lot back topgether as the corner weights were almost spot on anyway. £75 plus vat.

I spoke to them. They seem reasonably knowledgeable having built their own car from scratch. I was interested in the S2 package and whether it included measuring up for Centre of Roll calculations as well as CofG. Sadly it doesn't but they are working out a quote for it. Both of CoG & CoR are really only necessary if you plan serious re-engineering. I would have thought the prices for all packages was justifiable. I am not sure they necessarily have these options configured for what people want to buy i.e. they include things some won't value but thats different from being a rip-off.

Shocking prices... i suppose if the car was only used for trackdays/racing then ok.. But 3k like chuno said you would be affraid to drive it!
