I can't recommend Chris enough. He's the most passionate guy out there!

He can set up the car to suit your wife's driving style.

Mine has been adjusted to a slightly more agressive set up, with more camber and less castor, and the turn in is much better, and it grips forever in the corners

Agree with the advice to soak your bushes in Duckoil/WD40 for at least a week before you to give him the best chance of moving them!

My bolts were past plusgas or any other treatment. When we cut them out it was clear that they would never have budged. All sorted now though

Have you had the poly bush conversion done ?

If so how much time was involved ?

No, I had my seized bolts removed a week before Budgie and he was promised first dibs on the conversion. I had most of my wishbones off a week before and also treated them with POR15.
