Installation, setup & tuning · Brendale

Fitted is the start.Set up is the job.

Coilovers bolted in at whatever height they came out of the box are most of the money for little of the result. We fit suspension and then set it up — ride height, shock length, damping, bar settings — around the car and how it's driven. Parts supplied, or bring your own.

How it works

What happens, in order.

  1. 01

    The car and the use

    What it does most weeks. That decides heights, damping and bar settings more than anything on a spec sheet.

  2. 02

    Fitting

    Coilovers, springs, sway bars, braces, bushes — installed in Brendale by an engineer with a suspension background.

  3. 03

    Setup

    Ride height, shock length, damping baseline, sway-bar settings; corner weighting where it's appropriate to the car.

  4. 04

    Alignment and follow-up

    Wheel alignment arranged through a trusted provider nearby. Then drive it and come back — we adjust.

Installation & setup

Fitted is the start. Set up is the job.

Is this the right job for us?

Good fit, and what we’ll point elsewhere.

Good fit

  • Coilover and spring installation with a proper setup afterwards
  • Sway bars, strut braces and bushes — fitted and set to a baseline
  • Damping, ride-height and shock-length setup on suspension you already have
  • Sway-bar tuning and corner weighting for cars that see the track

Not what we’re for

  • Wheel alignment on its own — we don't run alignment equipment in-house; it's arranged through a nearby provider as part of a job
  • General mechanical repairs — we're a suspension and engineering workshop, not a service centre

Questions

Asked before you ask.

Do you do wheel alignments?
Not in-house — we don't currently own the equipment, and we'd rather say so. Alignment is arranged through a trusted provider nearby as part of the job, and it's included in the Super Street, Sport and Super Sport packages.
Can you fit parts I bought elsewhere?
Yes. Bring them in; we'll fit and set them up. If something about the kit isn't right for the car we'll tell you before it goes on.
What's 'shock-length setup'?
On adjustable coilovers the damper body length and the spring perch are set separately. Getting the body length right means the damper works in the correct part of its stroke at your ride height — instead of bottoming or topping out.
How long does a fit take?
It depends on the car and the parts. We confirm a booking window when you enquire rather than quote a generic number.
