If i ever decide to sell, i will give you a shout first.

2 new falkens on the front (they seem to have some pretty good reviews, and initial impressions are good) and full 4 wheel alignment completed by micheldever tyres, hampshire. the guy said they normally measure it all up and only adjust the front, but on mine it showed the rear was a bit out so he tweaked it all. The laser kit scanns the car and sets a datum down the middle to work too, in theory avoiding the chance of the car crabbing down the road. he really knew his stuff too, highlighting a few other adjustments and carring out some other measurments and checks. It took him about 20-30mins (he was extremely quick!) including haveing a chat about what he was doing to set it all up. he didnt do camber or caster, but he did measure it all. at the end you get a print out showing the before and after measurements - i can highly recomend theese guys!

annoyingly, i still have a fair bit of road noise and.....a clonk from the drivers side occasionally (no-idea what it is)! but none the less im very pleased with how it all turned out.
