Hi everyone. Basically what it says in the title. My Mini isn't very nice to drive :( I really need to find someone who knows Minis if you know what I mean. Also been told not all systems will do 10 inch wheels? I have adjustable tie bars, fixed negative camber, possible camber brackets on the rear.

 

I live in St Austell, but willing to go as far Devon if it means its done properly.

 

Many thanks :)

Dont bother going into a tyre company they do 4 wheel tracking but have no idea or the equipment to check/adjust camber

You could speak to Falmouth Tyres http://www.falmoutht...onal-system.htm

They do the camber/caster/tracking and have done a couple for people I know.

I asked my local Kwik Fit ( ooh errrr ) about the Hunter laser geometry machine they have just installed and have assured me they can adjust toe/camber settings to what i want and also two of the fitters have had extensive training on the machine via Hunter.

They said to do all four sides would cost £80.00 and would give me a computer readout of each setting and guarantee it as well.

Anybody used them or this system as i might give it a shot for that sort of money and report back!

Yeah I know what you mean about tyre fitters, not all, but many. Thanks for the replies so far :) Any other recommendations welcome.
