Well i have decided to go to center gravity after all, im paranoid about my cars not just about the service i will receive but also about possible damage to my car they may cause, im booked in for around 11am Saturday for the inspection, and possible geometry depending on if anything will need doing to the car, otherwise it will be next early next year when funds allow!
I have bought a can of penetrate spray and i am going to be spraying what i think are the bush's and bolts every day leading up to saturday in the hopes it may help free them up a little, worth a try for £5 i guess.

I'd get your bolts sorted elsewhere and just use CG for the geo set up etc. This will work out cheaper. However Chris at CG will do a top end job but it will cost. Let us know how you get on

I dont mind paying for amazing service etc, its when its expensive and you get a crap job i dont like! I cant wait to get the cars geo done though so i hope something can be done Saturday, as since i have owned it i dont really enjoy driving the car at all, its either because A) geo is out B) Im a crap driver C)i just lack the confidence to push the car, im hoping its A, as b, or c will mean i will be getting rid of the car for an integra DC5 and trying my luck with front wheel drive again.

In that case, it will be the best money you'll ever spend on the car… I promise
Did Chris say they had the bushes in stock?

Having owned a DC5, and ironically one set up by Chris Franklin, out of the box it's faster point to point than an S2000 in the hands of an ordinary driver but less rewarding to drive.
See if he remembers me, name is Chris and I had a black DC5 he set up when I was living in Nuneaton. If he does then say hello.

If you're up north you should have looked into Daytona Autos in Cheshire as he is on the forum (DaytonaDave) and is very helpful from experience.
Its better to go somewhere close in case you find out everything is seized rather than wasting the hours of driving and fuel when there is potential that they can't do anything.
