I will very soon need a car setting up as being honest its totally over my head and I would prefer it to be right rather than ok.

The car is a nova with a xe fitted, its sits on fully adjustable coilovers at the front with 300lb springs, eccentric top mounts and adjustable tie bars.

The rear setup sadly isn't adjustable as coilovers are not a straight fit so its only damping adjustable.

Obviously weight distribution does make a difference so I know the rear could benefit from being adjustable but right now the front is set up as it was fitted which means everything is all over the place.

Any advice on who to use or a good link on doing it yourself ? Most local garages can do a majority of it but I would assume someone who knows how to put a car round a track fast will have a better idea.

Thoughts and suggestions please

Yep I've used Troy for mapping although we did have problems so never really gone back.

I have seen his setup though and its very good so I will give him a call.

I was told someone in Bedford does it as they said they do touring cars but I have a funny feeling they mean Glyn O`Dell who I already know has enough on his plate.

Will give Troy a ring on Monday
