Apart from Rentune anybody else recommend a company that can do a full race geo set up.
I'm located near Hull so would be looking at companies around Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire Leicestershire area first.
Any suggestions?

Grinspeed in Leyland. Mainly do Honda's and Jap cars but Stevie is an ex M Sport mechanic so knows his stuff, does it old school via string and weight method rather than using a machine. He also had a lad working with him who mechanic's Clio Cup race cars in his spare time so plenty of experience. Stevie is excellent, really sound guy too.

Would be Mark Fish or Jade Developments for me. Both with multiple Clio championship wins under their belts, can't go wrong really. Although I'd side with Jade because Mark is just ridiculously expensive.
 
Jade Developments did my setup and have to say it's brilliant, have complete confidence throwing the car around a track without worry of understeer or any adverse oversteer, feels so well setup. Others have commented on how settled the car feels round track.

Totally agree Ben, although ours hasn't been on track yet, I could tell immediately I was much more aware of the rear of the car than I was before and the balance and confidence was a massive step up.

I was trying to find a way to describe that in my previous comment but gave up lol. The car is almost oversteery but in a good way, which you immediately question "how could that be good?" but like you say it's just more awareness or more feel which gives confidence, you can tell whats happening with the back end so don't need to worry about it suddenly snapping and surprising you.

Just a way better balance really isn't it? These cars handle superbly out of the factory but when you put proper suspension on them they're a whole level above. It's the reason the Trophy is so well regarded, really it's just a 182 with some very very good suspension on it, but what a difference it makes!
 
Thanks for the response so far gents. I had a good conversation with Sean at Jade. Hoping to get a slot booked soon. I am however going to be doing a basic set up just that get it rolling.

I wouldn't both mate you're just wasting your money imo. Hang fire and get these dudes at Jade to set the car up. They sound like they know what they're doing.

Oh I won't be wasting money as I'm doing it myself. [emoji6]

Good call mate. Sean is an awesome guy, genuinely loves the Clio and goes the extra mile to get things right. So happy with everything he's done for us. It's a two hour drive for me but I won't take it anywhere else now.
