Geomotory set up

Anyone know a shop that can do a full set up in Redhill, Surrey area?

Have so far tried two companies but neither can do as they can only set up to factory settings. The car is lowered 50mm ('89 E30 Touring, non standard alloys)

Tyre are wearing on the inside edge of both passenger front and rear.

I've had laser wheel alignment recently too. The only option they are giving is to swop the wheels round every so often.

Any help or advice appreciated.

Cheers :-x

There's no adjustments that can be made at the rear - it's a fixed system. If you want to fix the problems you've created with your 50mm drop you'll need to invest in an adjustable rear beam, either by modding your own or buying one ready made.

Spoke to a chap at a garage in Warrington about this. They run a race car in the North West Saloons and he said the laser alignment gubbins just don't work well with modified suspension. He tried the race car on it and it just didn't drive right. His advice to me was just to do it the old fashioned way using a string box.

very few alignment shops are any good with anything other than the standard set up try wheels in motion in buckinghamshire not that near but at least they know what they are doing -oh and expect to pay for a proper set up too.
