Services
Ride Height Correction
Adjusting ride height optimises suspension performance and vehicle stance. This service ensures precise axle symmetry, preventing handling imbalances caused by uneven adjustments. It includes geometry alignment to maintain factory specifications or bespoke settings for track use.
Corner Weight Adjustment
Fine-tuning suspension preload achieves optimal diagonal load distribution. By balancing weight across all corners, this service enhances steering response and confidence during high-speed manoeuvres. It includes geometry alignment for comprehensive setup accuracy.
Geometry Wheel Alignment
Custom geometry specifications optimise tyre contact and handling. Using factory data and driver requirements, we adjust toe, caster, camber, and thrust angle to balance cornering grip and straight-line stability for road or track use.
Suspension Installation
Professional suspension fitting ensures correct component integration. With expertise in adjustable systems, we combine installation with alignment to maximise performance benefits while maintaining factory tolerances and safety standards.
Chassis Setup
Comprehensive chassis tuning enhances vehicle dynamics for specific use cases. From daily driving to track optimisation, we adjust suspension parameters and geometry to deliver balanced performance, stability, and driver engagement tailored to individual needs.

Well it was the best 2 hrs and 290 I've ever spent, Matt was a wealth of knowledge and information on my Jaguar XF S he definitely knows his stuff. To understand my elation is to live with my Jag with constant turbo squeal and fumes, then after half an hour limited power for the rest of the trip everyday for the last 12 months, because the only solution I could find was a new cat from Jag at 2k and a used one is pretty much hard to find. Now with Matt from Spires breathing on it I've got my big cat back. To set the record straight I was always told it's the flexible joint that's broken.

I cant recommend Matt @ Spires highly enough - a spot on set up makes all the difference and this is exactly what you get from Spires - not within spec so that should be good enough, but a spot on set up to suit your car and how you use it. Other places may have some similar, but Ive never come across anywhere with the same patience at attention to detail.

I initially went to Matt complaining of a lack of front-end grip with my E46 M3. He worked to understand my needs and we went down the Nitron route. I appreciated his thoroughness, checking my install as it turns out it wasn't quite right. The rest of the corner weight and alignment was as meticulous. Fast forward to track days restarting after covid, I was at Bedford a few weeks ago and the car was great.. it actually took a few laps for my brain to catch up with what was happening. The way the front-end behaves now is so much better and no longer frustrating understeer. Couldn't ask for more
