Ride Height+Geometry - Thames Valley?

Post by shoestring7 »

Can anyone recommend a specialist capable of setting ride height and geo in the Thames Valley? My car's in Ascot, and I need to get the ride height increased - ideally somewhere reasonably local.

Currently the fat front tyres (205/60s on 7" wheels) are snagging on the front arches so it needs to be lifted to nearer factory height. I also need to get the front arches fixed :x

thanks

Hi,
I am based near Bracknell and used ALS tyres at Warfield for my 2.2s.
Laser alignment and the guy knows what he is doing. £300 all in and days work.
I have seen vintage Ferraris and all sorts go on the ramps. Good tyre prices too and don't mess up your Fuch's putting the tyres on.

Ian,
I think I know the place. Is this guy comfortable re-indexing the rear TBs on a 911?

I used Peter Tognola to re-set my 2.2s geometry and ride height. He only works on Porches. He is based in Datchet near Windsor.

Hi Charles,
I am unsure as mine did not need doing. They did explain that they knew what to do at the time.
Give them a ring.

Thanks Ian, I've arranged to pop in for a chat tomorrow, apparently 'David' is their go-to guy for classics.

I know Peter Tognola, but the last time I called him he'd got a 6 week wait for slots. I think the American guy he worked with has moved somewhere else.
