Ely tyres and Magnum both do four wheel alignment apparently. Or get your plumb line out and DIY :thumb:

Sounds like you have some new bars and bushes on the car then

I think it depends on whether you want it set to factory settings, 'straight' or something more complicated. If you have a series of settings that you want them to try, why not call them first and see if they can do it.........they should be able to do anything that's not too extreme as you don't have adjustable anything (I presume)

Yes,
As Stu says, if you want factory settings most places will do a reasonable job. If you want something more track orientated you either need recommended settings from say a BMW tuner to give to a 'normal' alignment outfit or go to a specialist alignment company like Autotest who will probably tweek the standard settings for you if you say what you are trying to acheive. Personally mate, i would do the latter. They have an excellent reputation.

Jason - i use them to swap over all my wheels. I have chatted to the guys down there about geometry and they have good equipment and will either set to factory settings or your own.
