There's no point in arguing. Chris does charge allot for geo alignment, but he does spend allot of time working on the car, so it depends on the what the individual gets out of it.
I've been to COG (about 3 years ago) and paid £550 for him to supply and press two Mugen castor bushes in to my front arms and a geo. He did a really good job, but it did cost a fair wack.
Now I go to Tony at WIM and pay £95, about half what Chris charges. The difference is I don't need a test drive and educating on suspension. WIM are friendly and informative and give me the settings I need.

and did/do the same, mostly because WiM is 15 minutes from me. If I lived nearer to CG, I'd probably go there.WiM will give you a good explanation of how various things will affect the car's handling, you just need to ask them.

Well, despite being "mad" I have booked with CoG to have the actual geo done on Fri 19th, that will be the acid test really, whatI have asked him to do is dial out the nervousness of the car and give me more grip at the same time, and I know Chris will do that.
Cheers.....Tony..

he will do this no problem, make sure you make the most of the roads he takes you down after the setup to see if you like the settings, when i went it was hammering it down but instantly felt more settled.
On a side note do you work on alfreton road ? theres always a red s2k parked up there and is the only other red one ive seen in derby
