I would go to powerstation in Cheltenham, I know it is a bit of a treak, but they really seam to know their stuff, you could even have the bumpsteer mod while you are at it.

I am not sure you want the prodrive settings for wheel alignment? I have read on here that this alignment is good, but will trash a set of new tyres in no time at all!! If you do a lot of miles you maybe better off going for more of a comprimise setting.

I had the powerstation alignment and toyo Proxies TS1's fitted just before christmas, and the difference to the handling of the car was nothing short of amazing. It stopped tramlining, was more stable under braking, the front end felt firm and the rear had lost its tendency to overtake me a low speeds on roundabouts in the wet. (Apparently my alignment was a long way out!!!!)

Just my humble opinion.

At the risk of being boring and predictable Another vote for Powerstation. They transformed my MY01. Well worth the trip.

Er, Powerstation every time. You won't believe how good the long drive home is afterwards (esp. with bumpsteer mod, too!)
