They seem to get good reviews on PistonHeads - anyone on here used them? I'm thinking of taking the 1M to get the geo done?

I've used them for my 1973 Porsche 911, as have a lot of others. In y classic Porsche club

He's not cheap, but does have an eye for detail and does Put the hours in, but importantly if after a couple of days the set up isn't actually what you want, he will take it in and adjust foc to suit your requirements

cheers for reply and recommendation mate. I don't really want to chuck much money at the 1M as not sure if i'm keeping it or not (fancy another 911) but tempted to do what others have recommended - geo and Mich Super Sports :)

Chris ain't the cheapest, but his attention to detail is superb.
I'm sending our lads across for training with him when we get our system installed.

Highly recommended by me.

ive used these guys and im going to be honest..... chris is fantastic, the whole setup is fantastic but he's charging WAY to much, a day with chris working on your car just doing a geo setup and damper setup will cost you silly money, prepare for ring piece stretching....
i wanted a geo setup and to set the dampers to what i WANTED and i was pretty much refused this.... the damper setup adds significant cost... the receptionist ( his wife) told me "chris wont geo setup on non adjusted dampers" to which i replied, they are setup, to MY liking... and for my use of the car.

For me the whole point of having 2 way dampers was to tweak and change the settings to each specific venue i drive at or to suit a longer journey etc. Chris's idea of setup may not be My idea of how i want the car to feel.

again, the car did feel fantastic, but did it feel any better than when simpson did it with their string method and some basic damper tweeks?? NO... not really... if you haven't got adjustable dampers, you'll still pay through the nose...

not worth the cost imho.
