I have had the corsa for years and it has been tracked up at different garages last year. Its never been right because it is really low and has coilovers on the front. Car was last tracked at kwick fit 3 months ago. I went down to a place called loudwater tyres 01494 463123 and there Hunter laser aligner tracked up the car superbly. The machine does camber and toe on each wheel and caster on front wheels. Thrust angle on rear and steer ahead on front are also displayed. The rear of the car was just out of spec at the rear due to the 15inch wheels and the fact she is low but the front of the car the readings were correctable.
The car has been handling like adream and the best it has ever been in the time it has been modified. MPG has gone up by 30miles on a fuel tank with £15 in and i am literally driving the thing like its stolen.
Even if you think youre tracking is fine it probably isn't and you cant go wrong when it is done on one of these machines.
The guys were first class and the workshop was one of the finest i've seen. The Technician said the hunter machine cost £14000.
Its up to ypu. Have youre car aligned on a 1 angle £500 machine at quick fit or on a £14000 state of the art 12 angle machine for a few quid more. Click on link to find youre local hunter tracker and for more info on the device!

Loudwater tyres are just off the m40, Exit After High Wycombe or just before depending on what end your coming from and it was worth the travel to have the car adjusted correctly!

Out of interest, What did they set the camber to?
I'm on Coilovers, and got the camber, toe and tracking done at ProTyre in Fareham.
They set the camber to 0.18.

No links with firm, Just got real good service and dont want fellow crew members wastin money having it done any other way. Eventually if no one had it done on the less accurate equipment garages would purchase the hunter!
