How much should I be paying for wheel alingment?

I must admit this baffles me as I have had quotes varying from £40 to £120 for all 4 wheels.

How much is a fair price?
 
Give Demon Tweeks a call as we tend to get a good deal there. The Vee has a number of adjustments (see Wiki) which can mean more work/time and skill required.

Some places charge a base price then additional charges for each axle angle adjusted. You have camber, toe and castor. At DT I think Mossy paid about £90 odd and I paid £57. I would say even £100 for a top notch job is not out of the way.

Ensure you get a specialist who is familiar with sports cars and all the necessary adjustments. Also ensure you use the right settings, some are posted in the Wiki.

It seems as though the Vee can take quite a long time to adjust due to the adjusters being exposed to the elements and often being difficult to undo etc.

I think Mossy's Mk2 took 2-3 hours at DT's whereas mine took only 30 minutes (mine is always garaged).

Good luck - when properly aligned the Vee handling is transformed.

I'm not quite sure what to do as my car was setup in feb when the KW were fitted but I just had one replaced adn K-Tec said they could set up the alignment properly due to the car not working with their machines they ahve access too, so do I get the one shock done or all of them?

Problem, is I'm not sure what setup the previous owner went for and I suspect it wasn't renaults recommended settings. He also said he thought they were bad, so what do people recommend themselves then?
