I will try and get the company my mates use down in Sussex I think it;s either Parigon or some one they send the cars to and all say the same thing a car just drives different when it comes back from them.. once I have the new shocks and bushes in my 69 912 I am taking it down to them to set it all up..

912uk - any luck with confirming whether it's Paragon? Mark Sumpter can assist with set up so as a racer I'm sure they are pretty clued up.

Hi Helen

Can you give an idea of what Centre Gravity charged to do your 964?

I'm interested in having my 3.2 and wife's Boxster set up.

Thanks.

I also have just had my 1972 911 2.4T/e set up with Chris Franklin at Centre Gravity nr Atherstone and it has to be the best money I have spent on my car to date.

My car is just on standard suspension other than Elephant racing polybronze bearing kit and it is simply amazing around the bends and now very stable at speed. As the Pirelli advert says “what is power without control”.

Chris and his wife Jayne are very welcoming with plenty of advice and a friendly atmosphere where you are welcome to stay and watch / ask questions or potter off and pick your car up later.

No connection just very impressed and thought I should pass it on.

I ad mine corner weighted, balanced and all the geometry set. Best money I ever sent. The car drives totally different now.
