Anybody used star performance for getting wheel alignment set up?
I need camber and caster setting up as i have coilovers, eibach camber bolts and eccentric top mounts on the front so need 4 wheel laser align with somebody that knows what they are doing.
I'm in tayport just the other side of dundee ideally i dont want to be going to far would you say star performance is my best bet or somewhere else?
(i've used ladybank tyres in ladybank before who have the same machine as star but tbh the guy didnt know what he was doing and i had to show him how to adjust the camber. I dont want to use them again)

Had the corsa set up by john at progrip today. The machine he uses (hunter dsp 600) is the same as the places i've used before however the major difference is this guy knows what he is doing with it!
For £55 i got the whole lot set up and adjusted into spec geometry wise and a nice little printout with before and after readings too.
Pretty pleased with the actual job he did my only criticism is the fact he took 2 and a half hours to not really do much. This is down to him being a one man band and having to answer phone calls, chat with his mates next door etc..
Apart from that though totally recommend him to anyone he definitely knows his stuff and you cant beat him for the price. (nearly half the price of star performance)
I didnt get lost and i took the long way back just to try out the new settings
