[Mk2] [Turbo] suspension setup

[KrisB]

Im looking for a place to set my suspension up for me at the minute ive got the coilovers fitted but im unhappy with the place that did it last time as the car handles sh*t and the front is sitting to high.

only places that are good with mr2`s please as i want it allignend as well

[matt_mr2t]

Give us a clue, where abouts in the country are you and how far are you willing to travel?

Elite in Essex are very very good.

[Leon.]

Better still add your location to your profile

What suspenders do you have? They're not very difficult to adjust but yeh, a proper 4-wheel laser alignment is always a good thing.

I reccommend Elite in Rainham, Essex. Very good and experienced with the mr2.

[KrisB]

sorry lads should of said im from Newcastle upon tyne area but willing to travel but the closer the better as long as place is good

im running k sport coilovers at the minute

had one garage set it up but its rubbish and im sick of places that say they can do a good job but cant

[t-bar89]

I beleive Paul at woodsport is in your area. He is very experienced with the mr2s.

[KrisB]

yeah paul is a good man but want a place with a good laser alignment machine so i can get my car to drive in a straight line without twitching all over the road

hi kris.

Im in the same boat and also in the newcastle area. really need to get my car set up properly. only had my mr2 about 2 months and had 4 brand new tyres on when i got it and the rears are done. and i wouldnt mind but so far 98% of the time ive just been driving to work and back as weathers been rubbish for a good drive out. anyway i been looking round and was gonna try these guys.

[tubby_tony]

Hi Kris,

Pleased to see you have your car back on the road. Im intetersted in my car setup also. Got a new set of springs to put on the coilovers and want it done as soon as.

I know Brian Stanners garage FormulaOne in Newcastle can set our cars up, but not used them before.

Keep me posted.

Very interesed in this disscussion, just in process of fitting new suspension, and will need wheels re-aligned.

Omar.... did i bump into you the other week at a shell garage, just of the felling bypass? I was in the silver mr2?

Hi all. Thought id update this thread. I had my 4 wheel lazer alignment done on my car the other week. Got it done at the silverlink branch:

Also you can get a discount voucher from there website:

Cost me £52 with the discount. Im very happy with there work. They got a print out of what the current set up is and then i gave them the set up i wanted my car setting too. Then they did it and they give you a print out of the new settings. Was quite cool coz they have a Monitor on the wall in reception and you can see there progamme there using.

I am very happy withmy car now. It used to feel very very very twitchy in the wet and had no confidence in it in the wet. That has gone now and feels planted and no more twitchyness. So in my opinion it was £52 well spent.

Hope this helps some of you lads up here in the north east.
