Open wallet surgery - hope its worth it !

[steamer]

Well my cars over at Emblem and due back on Saturday.

Have taken lots of the site recommendations and I am most looking forward to the general worn bush replacement, and wheel alignment. I hope the car feels as good as everyone suggests.

They did mention that the slight issue of rear tyres and carcass showing on the inner edges may affect the handling too. Oops didn't see that.

I hope its dry and clear on Saturday.

Lucky they spotted the tyres before it was too late - I hope the invoice isn't too painful

Get some Goodyear Eagle Asymmetrics on your car - you won't regret it!

Seconded. Also, Emblem have their own alignment setup that stops the tyres from wearing the inner edges and I for one will give that a massive vote. All tyres are now wearing evenly and it handles really well with the steering wheel returning to centre quicker when coming out of the bends. Overall handling seems no different.

Isn't that just a neutral alignment? Reduce the camber or toe in? Can't remember which

Increasing the castor angle on the front wheels usually does the trick...It also works on the 3200 and 4200!

If you are there on Sat morning we may bump into each other. I'm due to collect the GTS that morning. You'll probably also see the dark green Ghibli GT I dropped off there before Christmas, as that's not due to be finished for another couple of weeks.

Good luck with the bill. It'll be more than you think!

Well that's hardly comforting, is it?!

Probably less painful than points and a fine though

Good years being fitted. As I said following advice from here. Doing their setup after general maintenance. The quote is already a bit different to fast audi and even porsche. So I don't think I want it to grow anymore.
Encouraging responses though so can't wait.
Cheers guys.

You get what you pay for, I reckon. The difference in professionalism I've encountered at Emblem is light years away from anything else I've encountered in my car owning life. I feel my 3200 is in very safe hands, even if my bank balance isn't!!
