Default Powerstation for Geo and Weighting?

Hi,
Anyone care to comment (even by PM) on Powerstations competancies with geo and corner weighting please?
I have a non Scooby I want to run by them after new coilovers and my usual choice has become very expensive, and a long drive.

Cheers,
Steve.

had mine done 2 weeks ago and car handles well , they seem good and would use them again they are a little expensive tho 94 quid with vat an hour, i would recommend that u remove the track rod ends clean the thread and re-grease if they aint been off for a while,also i removed my bk seat before i went down so the could adjust the rear camber top mounts otherwise you will pay them to do this.It took them 35 mins to set mine up because i done all the above otherwise allow for 1-2 hours if the coilovers are already fitted.

Man, that's a massive hourly rate.
Maybe my usual guy Chris Franklin at Centre Gravity is not so dear after all.
I think it was £500+ for an eight hour job including corner weighting.

Can Powerstation do corner weighting? They are a little slow to respond to email!

The car I'm aligning is a Honda S2000, so all on cams and a couple of rods.

I've taken both my scoobs to powerstation and the extra hourly rate is well spent. I happily do a 180-mile trip to see them.

Phone them rather than email they're excellant so very busy, but they do pick up the phone.

They do have corner-weight scales but dont know if this is for their use or for setting up customer's cars.
