Fair enough, at least you know how it should be done

I've had a customer pay twice to get it done by 2 different "normal" tyre places and they couldn't manage it

Dunc, don't fuck about trying to set it up on anything other than a 4 wheel laser alignment machine with floating wheel pads, where the car is sat on it's wheels, but on pads that allow the suspension to settle by the wheels moving to where they want, not fighting against the tyre on a stationary floor.

Fit the beam, and line it up as best as you can by eye, making sure all the threads are a similar length on symetrical adjustments. Then take it to a laser allignment centre.

A good one will do EVERYTHING on the car, starting with the back end first. Apart from all the camber, toe and castor on the front, they should ensure you have a zero thrust line ( ie the front and rear axle are pointing in the same direction, parallel to the centreline of the car), and the axle offset is correct ( the front and rear axles are in the correct position, central on the centreline of the car, not offset sideways).

Pm me your number if you want a chat, my phone is on till midnight.

Actually, where you are there are a few good places to get it set up, think Northampton motorsport and corby motorsport both have floating 4 wheel alignment machines.

Was given these settings by Mike when i wanted to get my geo checked after getting the car. I presume they relate to a car with Ahmed beam as Mike knew my car had one.

Front:
Toe-IN: 2mm overall (aim for 1mm each side).
Camber: Depends on use? 1.5° ( = 1° 30') negative for road, 2.5° (= 2° 30') negative for track.
Caster: As close to 3.5° ( = 3°30') as you can get (a little more won't hurt).

Rear:
Toe-IN: 3mm overall (aim for 1.5mm each side).
Camber: Depends on use? 1.25° (= 1°15') negative for road, 2.25° (= 2°15') negative for track.

That's what i set my stage 2 adrenaline beam too and it's brilliant although sits a wee bit higher than it did before.

Don't forget that handling is very subjective, what some people will love, others will hate. I love a loose back end, so I run slighlty less rear toe than most people. The beauty of the adjustment is that you can set the car to how YOU like it
