Has anyone had it done ? Costs involved ? Was it just weighed, or did they balance it too ? |

The geo setup / corner weighting process took a while in my experience, even though the guy did a great job and I thought it handled alright at first, the FSi trackday showed me more work was needed. I went back twice afterwards for a few more hours (FOC) fine tuning and tweaking over the course of a week as it wasn't turning in at certain speeds like it should and the oversteer wasn't as pronounced. It can involve a lot of work as everyone wants they car to handle differently and you pay for the vast experience these professionals have IMO. |

place near me that Fast ford used does it for just over £100 full geo setup corner weight and tracking. Was gonna do it with the ZS if I had kept it. |

Pay for proper work, Ben  Like Alex's geo guy, my guy builds stunt show cars and has spent years helping advise and prep BTCC cars.It really pays to have a proper job done by a properly skilled/experienced person. |

Typical tracking and a full Geo' setup isn't nearly the same thing Ben. Don't get them confused
