As long as the bottoms of the tyres touch the ground you should be alright.



Try Scoobyclinic.

Ali, I just had mine set up. There's a local mobile firm in and around Leeds called Tams. It's a family business that's been doing geo for over 40 years. The founder, Stuart, is now almost fully retired and only usually dons his overalls when he goes down to the Williams F1 factory to set them up the fresh geometry for the seasons new chassis. He also trained KT Greens guys, and still is asked to personally set up KTG's owners road and race cars, so I think he's qualified enough I was lucky that when I booked and expected either his son or grandson, he came along to help out. I asked him to set it to the Prodrive settings pulled off here, and he was happy to do so after punching a few holes in the figures. He based my settings partly on the accepted Prodrive figures and partly on his own knowlege and experience, even taking into account the average road camber and the weight of the driver (me) as it will amaze you how much the alignment deflects front to rear when someone jumps in the driver seat (especially if they're my size).

As I say, they're mobile so will travel to any garage you like but I use Prospect on Whitehall Road (near Dragon pub). Call Ken on 0113 2630158 and explain that it's a Scooby and you will be wanting a setting a bit different to the OE quoted figures, as that may be what got Stuart out of bed that day

FWIW, I had Scoobyclinic do my last set-up and didn't find it much different afterwards (apart from the effects of the new ARB) but this time I had fitted the AST's and could definately tell that the alignment was much better immediately afterwards. Feels like it's on rails, sticky rails, sticky magnetic rails

HTH, David.
