C of G Centre of Gravity
Having read loads on this forum about the wizardy that one Mr Chris Franklin is able to perform on the S2000 I decided to book myself in for an alignment session. Ive recently lowered the S and consequently started to suffer from severe twitchiness. Not surprising given the lack of contact my newly lowered car was having with the road!! Chris, as enthusiastic and friendly as the previous posts suggest started with a once over and copper slip of the bushes, followed by the laser alignment process to perfect the camber, castoring and toeing of the car. Once honed to a level that he was happy with we took her out for a test drive and wow was there a difference. The car felt as solid as a rock and well planted to the road and capable of 15%+ more speed around the twisties.
Chris if you are reading this, thank you very much for the work on my S and for the rest of you, I can't recommend enough the services from Centre of Gravity. Book yourself in, you wont be disappointed!!

I to had the benefit of Chris's wisdom after Christmas, I was staggered when he was telling me how the car handled just by looking at the tread wear on each tyre. After much tinkering especially with a stubborn bolt when fitting my spoon tie bars, the results are obvious. Not to mention helping me out when the car had a strop on the test drive.
Anyone thinking of getting this done, stop pondering and book yourself in.

I'm thinking about getting this done on mine just so I know I've got no excuses when I next end up wondering why I'm facing the wrong way in the road again.
How much did the process set you back if that's not too rude?
Did it take long? I've got mates up in Brum so could do a bit of a visit if there's time while it's being done.
Ta very much!
