Looking for recommendations in the North East for having Coilovers fitted and properly set-up, along with camber, toe in & out etc.

Anyone first hand experience?

Normally get a friend to fit coilovers - it's very straight forward if you can wield a spanner, then any decent tyre fitters with decent gauges can do your alignment.

In the Teesside area I would reccomend Teesdale Tyres behind the old TFM building in Stockton. They'll do a great job of the alignment, not sure if they'll fit aftermarket parts (ie: coilovers) though.

Would help with more information on the car, coilovers setup, etc.

Cheers Liam

Used Teesdale before, but they only seemed to be able to adjust a car to factory settings from a database, not sure that'll cut it when fitting coilovers and needing things setting to match new rideheight etc.

Car is a Corolla (stop laughing..), Coilovers are with fully adjustable pillowball topmounts. Car to be used as fast-road with some track work.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Previously had a very bad experience dealing with Revolution, so loathed to try them again being honest. Motoscope any good for this?

AK automotive in Rowlands Gill.

No affiliation but they did a great job of the alignment on my 944 to the specs I gave them after talking through what I was trying to achieve.
