Nice to meet you mate, and I won't ask for the extra discount ;) - some say it should go to WIM  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Suprised re the front camber figs - whilst they didn't get mine to exactly 1°10', they got it close enough (within about 10' -  20' from memory) - same reason given to me at the time as given to you.

However I found car much more planted since geo done, and slight wear on inside edge of front o/s tyre has not got any worse since.

Does the car drive any better since you had it done?

Was nice to put a face to a name.
 Haven't noticed any real difference,not been out on my own to go for a spirited drive,will see on Sunday when I go back to work.
Also would think the wim representive might be along soon to ask for percentage. :D

BG, given the camber oddities, may be worth measuring tread wear over next 2-3k

If not wearing unevenly, not a great issue, though you might not get the turn in that I prefer :)

Almost double the recommended amount of camber.

Expect inner edge wear, twitchyness, and possibly need new tyres by roughly half the tyres life, at a guess.

All joking aside, consider further attention to get the wheels more upright.
