Default Centre Gravity

I have now had my S2000 from new for a year and the car has now settled down.Hence a visit to Centre Gravity last Monday which was inspired by Chris Franklin who attended the Jap Festival S2000 stand last year.What he said then proved so true when we stripped the pivot pins from all four suspension units on all wheels.
They were all dry, no lubrication from new at the factory assembly.
This was remedied and then a major suspension service/check carried out.
I now have a computor read out of the Initial Measurements for front and rear axle.The Target Data [TOLERANCE] and more important the Final Measurement after re-set and adjustment.
The work he carried out, even placeing weights on the drive seat, to substitute my body weight to that position, to get the correct ballance for set up, was proof of the quality of workman ship he gave.
I now have an S2000 which is ballanced and a new wonder to drive and more important a datum i can refer to, to check against in a year or two when re-servicing, new tyres, change of suspension set up etc.
A service for the future which will save a lot of pounds and agro.

Corner balancing can really make a difference in the way a car feels!
