Default Fast Road/Track Wheel Alignment

Where in Herts/Beds/Cambs is good to take my car for a fast road/track wheel alignment?

Preferably want someone who is familiar with Honda's/s2000's - although taking my previous CTR to one of the most "reputable" Honda Tuners in the UK/Europe for one a few years back didn't go so well

Do any of you guys have a print out of the actual settings used?
I need mine doing but I live in Leeds - so can't make it down there.

Given where you are I wouldn't look anywhere else than Chris Franklin at Center Gravity. May cost a bit more than other places but worth every single penny in my opinion. Back 10 years ago when I first got my car the majority of people on here used him. As time has gone on I can only assume people look for cheaper options. I've been to him twice. He second time was only because TGM made a mess of my geo which Chris corrected and car was driving back as good as ever.

Don't be surprised when you go there to see all kinds of exotica, his main customer base are Porsche owners.

There are lots of threads with different people's setting posted, although start fro the FAQ for the recommended settings for pre-and post-facelift cars.

I agree (although it's not real close for you)
Bizarrely I went last weekend end for the 2nd time, and the first time he also corrected what TGM did for the previous owner !

Yep that place is a little too far for me.

The only place close by with laser alignment is Kwik Fit. Don't trust them to do a good job. Therefore thought if I could get specs from people who know what they're talking about - I can just tell them to do exactly what I want.
