Hi all, had a good day yesterday with Matt and Ivan, checked out shocks on dyno, springs, active range etc, set all the car up properly corner weights geometry and trailing link angles. I gained lot's of valuable information. Great hospitality even coffee and lunch thrown in.
Excellent day out can't wail to try it out at Cadwell on Saturday.

Hi a full setup on a car including the setting of ride hieghts tracking camber and checking what castor you have.  Removing of all dampers and springs  checking springs in test rig running dampers on the dyno and analising them as to suitability and balancing them and giving you the working range of them.Checking what the rear axle is doing camber and tracking and alighnment wise. Corner wheighing and a whole lot of advice for further improvments.  Price is ussually about £ 200

Time wise it usually takes about 7 ish hours.

Cheers matt

Edit to say that giving the car a check all over will be in that price as well.

Yes, I've had a number of people recommend Procomp for setup assistance and will definetely be looking to them once I have my Locost!

Good luck!

Thanks.
