AlliRR Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Any recomendations in the central Scotland area? Cheers, Alli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L18msy Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I think Geo used Kenny Brown in Hillington. My mate recommended someone else to me as well but can't remember who. I will ask him again as i am needing mine done as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will ask him again as i am needing mine done as well. Car was set up perfectly, that was just before Knockhill when i went on the track. what a difference it made, won't go anywhere else.

AlliRR Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Cheers, I've googled him and he seems to be THE man folk use in this area. Havent found a bad word about him. Just need new tyres now....AGAIN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul372 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 had mine done last week ready for my new wheels from Paul, its well worth the money my car feels total diffrent now much more planted to the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 An alternative is Pro-grip in Bonnybridge. Similar to Kenny Brown I've never seen a bad word said against them (I used Kenny Brown as he's ten mins from my work though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 CLCM in Sighthill, Edinburgh has been reccomended before too, not so close to you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Another vote for Kenny Brown here. Very nice guy and they all really know their stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Me and Marc are both going to be needing this soon. What sort of price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Me and Marc are both going to be needing this soon. What sort of price? Standard setup with no hassles is around the £75 mark. My adjusters were a bit siezed and they had a bit of trouble loosening them off so I was 115 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Price looks good...how long does it take as Hillington isnt that close a walk to anywhere and would prob have to wait on the car!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Price looks good...how long does it take as Hillington isnt that close a walk to anywhere and would prob have to wait on the car!? Couple of hours, I was there for 3. I just sat in the waiting room, can go for a wander if you like though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braehead isn't too far away mate. Price wise I was a couple of pennies under £100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 For a full setup on mine, i was just over £100. Kenny had it all day, my GEO was way out though. so he spent a bit of time re-doing everything. Best £100 i've spent on the car to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aman00123 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 What set up do you guys go for - stock, Lance W or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I was going for the Lance setup, but when Kenny asked I just said give me the most grip and he said no bother. He spends a lot of his time setting up rally cars for professional rally teams so he isn't just a spanner monkey that works to a manual. Always good to know that the person working on your car has indepth knowledge To answer your question I went with the Kenny B setup lol.

L18msy Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Whats his ramp like, would i be able to get my car on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Whats his ramp like, would i be able to get my car on it? I can't be sure, but I don't think mine was done on a ramp. Think each corner lifted onto the cups individually. I certainly didn't see my car high off the deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L18msy Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I thought it would be easier to adjust the track rods etc when it was up in the air. I will need to pop round and see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlliRR Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Im going to phone him tomorow and get booked in asap. My car feels unstable at high speed and its destroying tyres without any effort. I blame the last place that set it up... Or my driving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Whats his ramp like, would i be able to get my car on it? Cant actually remember dude, i left my car outside with him. you would need to pop over and let him see the car, Im going to phone him tomorow and get booked in asap. My car feels unstable at high speed and its destroying tyres without any effort. I blame the last place that set it up... Or my driving! The driving dude, hehehehehehehe Car will feel so much better to drive once its setup properly. Ask before and after settings to see how much its actually out.

Marcus GTE Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Thought I'd revive this before the last post on it was over a year ago (just made it) After failing my mot last week on rear tyres, I noticed that they were really worn on the inside. I knew it was running some negative camber when I bought it but I diddnt think anything of it as the car handled really well. So anyway, I saw this thread and after ordering Goodyear eagle f1's off camskill to pas my mot, and them not being cheap rubber, I felt like it was worth going to visit Kenneth brown. So that's where I am now, waiting in a caffe in hulking ton (actually wrote hillington but that's what the iPhone changed it too lol, what a cool place hulking ton would be!) waiting on a phone call. Hopefully all will go well an he won't find any problems. I asked him for a balance of even tyre wear and grip and also for the before and after figures. I'll update later on when I know how it went.

Ross C Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Holy thread revival. I'll be looking to get this done before Suprapod so let us know how you get on. Geo mentioned this place only last week to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Kenny does know his stuff, when it comes to setting cars up. Can tell you right now, the car will handle so much better when you get it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
