S2000 Geometry Specialists

[DeadeyeJim]

Hi guys,

Can anybody recommend or suggest a geometry specialist who can check my S2000 ?

Preferably as close to Oxfordshire or Buckinghamshire as possible.

The one I know is north of Birmingham and is booked up at least a month in advance (and isn't cheap) - CenterGravity. I know on s2ki.co.uk though they do recommend a couple of others (one in the South somewhere, one in the NW).

If it's not been done already, and you've a bit of extra spare cash, get whoever does the work to remove and grease ALL of the suspension adjustment bolts before doing the alignment.

I was recommended Centre Gravity by a chap with a Porsche 997 Turbo. If you google them, you'll find favorable reviews. I think my friend arrived at 10am and left at 11pm once all was done. Committed by the sound of it.

got the geo done on my s2000 at kipplings in milton keynes, only set to factory settings, wouldnt call them experts at playing with different settings etc, but thye have the correct kit and are fairly cheap.

"Correct kit" is a misnomer - there are all sorts of 4-wheel geometry checking kit around. At the bottom-end, a Hunter-rig has to be calibrated annually and anything within (IIRC) 2 or 3 minutes of arc is considered calibrated. So if you get to it 9 months down the line and you're asking for 5-minutes toe-in (not unusual), you could conceivably end-up with toe-out!

Conversely the Beissbarth kit (for example) that the real specialists use is better than an order of magnitude more accurate.

its a hunter machine they have so on the above advice, maybe go some where better, like wheels in motion. but my car handles ok and only cost £65.00 for a full setup.
