Can anyone recommend a decent place to get my wheels aligned, i've a set of CSL wheels due to be fitted after having new tyres put on.

Thanks in advance.
 
Got mine done at Bubble & Kick Racing in Basildon using this groupon voucher:

They were great and I'm very happy with the result.
 
I've been pointed to Drive Dynamic on South Hanningfield Road in CM post cost. There is no site, but this is coming from a few Zed owners and general car nuts. Believe they used to be called Skidmarques;

How ironic...Iv used this place before but forgot the name and place so I was looking elsewhere. Iv messaged my friend I used to work with looking for the name as all I could remember was that they are based near Mountune in Essex.

I'll probably end up using them they were brilliant last time (think It was around £70) and the car felt miles better after being set up (max negative camber with the pins pulled and 0 toe in on the front, etc, etc).
 
What seems to be the consensus of a great Z4M alignment?

I have since this winter new Eibach Pro springs on, RTAB/limiters, maxxed camber front.

Ended up with:

Front:
camber -1.75deg
toe-in 1mm

Rear:
camber -2deg
toe-in 2mm.

Cars feels great, just wonder if it could be even better?
 
I preferred zero toe in at the front.... It also stopped the scrubbing on the front tyres.

Although the steering did seem to jump about a little more when driving on the road especially if it was bumpy.
 
I always used to go to Elite in Rainham, on the old A13. They were good for tyre prices but on a couple of occasions I found them to be really expensive for alignment / tracking - good, but very pricey. Haven't been there for a few years now so don't know if much has changed.
 
I've always been an Elite man too, but as you say the alignment is really pricey. Might try the Bas place mentioned above.
 
I do mine myself, the kit soon pays for itself and in the early days of me doing this I used to check the settings with a garage to prove they are accurate. The hardest part is trying to find a willing person that is happy to sit there for a while to correctly weight the drivers side. :D
