He said a little more camber will improve the handling of the car in the twisties and due to this the toe needs to increase otherwise tyre wear will be bad.

 

Overall impressions - Very good, he spent time showing me and telling me what each adjustment would do on the road, free coffee and they also fitted that replacement alignment bolt - as the old one had a loose fixed eliptical washer

 

Cost - the total cost was £89.00 this is broken down as:

£50.22 computer front and rear toe

£12.77 each for 2x camber adjustments

£13.26 VAT

I think they have done a very good job..... A rarity nowadays. Super tyres are in my trusted centres section but not that particular centre, maybe we need to talk!
