+1 for Road and Race in Rydalmere. Peter is the man when it comes to alignments and suspension setups for either track use or daily driving. Wouldn't go anywhere else myself.

I took my hardtop turbo to East Coast Suspension at Taren Point. I supplied the Konis and the Eibachs.
Fantastic job, they ask how you want to use the car and suggest a few possibilites and let you decide. They went out of their way to do a spot on job for me.

Try Greg Nolan. He sets up some of the quickest cars in Improved Production, Super TT and the Wakefield 300. He is on the central coast.
Rick Shaw in Sydney, he won the Production Sports championship in the SW20. Build them, set them up and won. He is very good. He is expected at MTC 2015. He will be available for testing and car set up over the two days.
Another guy is Rotor Master in Hornsby. Very switched on, was the quickest and best prepped SW20 at the Bathurst 24 hour 2002. He looks after a number of SW20's around Sydney.

Ended up seeing Peter at Road & Race, very knowledgeable and a great guy. Corner weighted, lowered a little (particular the front to rake a little forward) and setup fairly aggressively for a road registered car.
He described the car (in its original setup) as being "pretty pissed" but now it feels so planted. Can't wait to get it on the track (Wakefield, 28th Nov if anyone's keen)

Glad it worked out well. Peter definitely is a great guy, and he knows his stuff.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did he charge to do all of that?

He's done mine once too. He's good. I do alignments myself now hence why I don't go there anymore

Was a great day down at wakefield today. Crowded though, and a VERY mixed bag. Managed to drop .35 sec off my pb (now a still fairly lame 1:16.8). Car was nicely balanced, but turbo mischief still continuing (compressor surge or some other flutter problem).
Nice to meet Richard there with his 3sgte powered aw11 (with Holden ecu) and new owner Lawrence with red sw20 turbo
