    Hey chaps, and chapesses

    Needing some help here. Looking for someone to adjust my coilovers on my RX8 and wondering if theres anybody you guys can recommend to me?

    Ideally NOT Dastek as these are the guys who i bought the suspension from and got it fitted. Service was great (minus a few problems from Tein with supplying the wrong part which delayed things a bit) but ever since handing over £1k+ for the whole setup and installation, their service has gone down the drain.

    So basically I'm looking for someone to lower the suspension a wee bit and do an alignment again. Any help is much appreciated.

    Yeah he really knows his stuff:approve: His wheel alignment equipment is state of the art lazer where he clamps what can only be described as mini satelite dishes onto each wheel then fires lazers at them which give him a kind of GPS of each wheel......very funky
