SORTED! So it's not the tyres...

Obviously your tyre place set the front toes to be more or less parallel, not caring that they were pointing to the right and that they messed up the other settings doing it.
I bet you're pleased it's sorted. There's still a lot of people that think geo is either snake oil, or just for people that want to find the last 1/10 of a second round a track.

You said it was high on one side. What was the reason then?
So the cowboys in the tyre shop managed to badly screw the camber up then as predicted.
Shocking.
I hope you went back and tore a strip off them, you could have been in a ditch.
Also the 'float' at 120mph IS to do with the stock dampers - lack of rebound damping.
If you change to adjustable suspension its really obvious how poor oem is at speed.
I do like the screen display, much clearer than Beissbarth for example, and that's not bad.

Nice one
BTW, I was on the same estate as you all day yesterday (unit 3), having loads of things fitted to my car.
I will going there today as well.
I'm having Traction Control, 02 hood, stereo, antenna, 04 lights, and a few other goodies fitted.
Come & say hello, if you're nearby.

s2000malta - what do you mean its matt? Its the same colour as the rest of the car!!
LTB - yeah, its infinitely better now! Tony's system has all stock manufacurer settings loaded on to it, and if they're not on there or have been updated they can be downloaded on line too. If you want to alter the settings you can do, but I was happy to put it back to stock for now and use that as a base - if I find I need to adjust in the future I can do!
eSeM - I would recommend it, let us know when you go down and I'll try to pop along and say hi!
Dembo - yes, Central Tyre royally screwed it up! Basically they just slung the equipment on the rear wheels and measured the front - what they should have done was zero the front, then swap it over and zero the rears and then swap it back to adjust the fronts again. Instead, all they did was screw it up - I'll be going back down there today to get a refund for the
