I use the tyre clinic for my evo, mainly because the guy who owns it has an evo race car and is all over the evo suspension. But they do seem good.

Bringing an old thread back to life.

Are the people/companies mentioned above still around and still do good work?
With a full replacement of bushes, ball joints, steering components and swaybars I want a good alignment.
I have some specs in mind that I would want dialed in as the suspension is a hybrid of GEN1/2 SW20 MR2. I want to use it for Autocross and possibly some track use in the future.

Thanks for the replies guys. Might take it to a suspension place like Leon suggested. Still haven't installed any of the suspension or steering parts yet. Just waiting on some swaybar end links to be made. Plus trying to figure out the best way to remove the old bushes and install the new ones. I'm thinking a gear puller to remove them and a vice to install them. Too bad I have none of these tools.

If your out those ways you could also try Macbilt Engineering in Grenada North they do Road & Race car alignments.Besttime to go I would recommend Saturday morning.

That's another good option. I'm only just down the road and Saturday morning suits me best.
