Civic Type R EK9 Alignment - Manchester?

Hi guys, Apologies if this is the wrong section to post in. Its been a while since I posted on here.

 

I'm wondering if anyone can help.

 

I had a set of fully adjustable coilovers fitted to my type r a few weeks back.

 

Initially when I fitted them the alignment seemed fine (the steering wheel sat straight but I'm guessing the alignment was slightly out).

 

However since I have raised the ride height, the car now pulls to the right and the inside of my tyres have worn pretty badly:(

 

I was just wondering if anyone could suggest a reputable place within the North West, preferbly close to Manchester where I can could the alignment corrected?

 

My initial thoughts were Drury Lane as I have been there before. However after reading other posts on here, I'm inclined to go elsewhere.

 

Many of the honda enthusiasts highly recommend these guys:

And I know people on this forum suggest:

What are your thoughts??

 

Thanks for any input:)

 

ps - I'm still learning about geometry etc, but from what I've read, as I only have coilovers, and no camber or caster adjusters, I can only adjust the toe on my car?

 

It was suggested to me that I should have the car setup with 0 toe all round to have a neutral feel on the road?

Is this the case?

 

 

Cheers

Ok Thanks. I'll look into the EZ Cams. Can they be used on the EK9 Type are though or are they only for newer shape civics i.e. ep and fn?

 

Just to clarify, are Drury back on track now?

 

This civic actually belongs to a good friend of mine:

So was slightly hesitant of going there. But if you recommend them, I'll give them a shot

Drury lane without question..... Get some EZ cams for the front camber, cost around £30.

 

 

Drury are not one of my centres..... Lang's are the people to use.

 

Might want to check what you type first Tony :o I think you meant Lang's in the first post.
