I got mine done a couple of weeks ago at Best Price Tyres in Rathcoole - excellent job, and they charge betwee e30 and e50 depending on how long it takes them.

You need to book it in with them (Valdas or Tomasz 01-401-3607) as they're busy.

Sounds good. Will they set the car up to what I want not just factory settings?

'probably' - they didn't mind me getting involved with the whole thing while the car was in the air.

He started off by loading up some settings based on year of the car, etc. The PC screen had gauges and things on it, so I could see that camber/castor/etc were measured a few degrees here, a few degrees there, and that everything should be matched up side-to-side.

Looks like you could specify each to be max'd in a certain plane, and just have the guy match the sides.

One of the Polish guys that runs the place has an M3 with some mad suspension setup for track days - so I guess they know their stuff

Was in there the weekend before last for some tyres, sound lads.
One of them also drives one of those rare-ish AWD Subaru Coupes (SVX?) with the funky window-in-window thing going on.

yep SVX alright. 6cyl boxer engines. Had the pleasure of working on one before. They're like the imprezas 20 universal joints and half the engine bay out to get at one spark plug :evil: :evil: :evil:

Anyway great lads there very helpful. Got the car tracked with the new ride height now hopefully wont be eating tires anymore.
