Not sure if this would be something Douglas at B&M Centre would be able to help you with, might be worth giving him a ring :thumbs up:

Site sponsor as well :)

Pro-Grip in Larbert. I don't trust my cars with anyone else, plus the owner John is just a decent nice bloke. Used to be based in Bonnybridge but relocated to behind the Outside Inn (nearish the new hospital) at the end of Bellsdyke Rd in Larbert a few years back.

Full Hunter alignment setup but more importantly he knows what he's doing with it.

I spent ages with him perfecting my setup in a coilovered Clio in the past, going quite a way from factory settings based on his advice. And his ramp is long enough to take my van which is a bonus (many are too short!).

I've used Autohaus in Loanhead (near Ikea) a couple times, both for the MINI and BMW. They have the full Hunter KDS system and I'm sure I paid about £60.

I've just had new top mounts fitted on the front of the one, it's currently sitting on stock suspension at the moment, what I want to know is this adjustable? Or when you change to coilovers do you need to change to adjustable arms etc to allow for fast road set ups? Is it worth getting the stock suspension set up properly?

Its defo worth having stock suspension set up properly for a number of reasons drive ability tyre wear economy ect
When / if you change to coilovers you don't have to have everything adjustable it just helps take the car that bit further

local place I use has that same set up, always used them and when I had my red Clubman they set up camber so that I could get car sitting low as possible
