On 20/04/06 I made the trek (178miles) up to TGM. After leaving at 5:30am I arrived at 9:00am at TGM's premises to be met by Tom Gannon.
I was there to have the Eibach Pro Kit springs fitted, and a full laser alignment with a more aggressive 'fast road' set up, and also to have my JDM rear ARB fitted (from the Group Buy).
Whilst my car was put up on the ramp and work started on fitting the springs, Tom showed me around his garage, and more importantly showed me his 2 DC5 race cars. The new facelift DC5 he has built for this year is awesome.
After the a while, and the springs were on, it was set up on the laser alignment ramps, and Tom talked me through the process of setting up the camber and toe, tailoring it to my driving style and roads I travel on mostly. Was really good to hear him explain exactly what he was doing and what effect it would have on the cars driving. I already had the Eibach rear adjustable camber arms, and front adjustable camber bolts fitted, so it was a case of setting them to spec.
After a further chat about the race car series, and future races etc... It was time to head home.
The level of service at TGM is excellent. By far the best garage experience I have ever had. It is easily worth the distance I travelled to get there, and I will deffinitely do it again in the future. Many thanks to Tom and his team for the work done and friendly advice. I would recommend them to everyone.
Now the car feels sooooo much better to drive. It was good as standard, but now its been taken to the next level in handling and drive. A lot of the understeer has now gone, and turn in is so much sharper. The springs help reduce the body roll, but also retain the comfort of the OE springs whilst cruising. Looks wise they have made the car look a little meaner, with a drop of approx 20mm front and 15mm rear.
Here are the pics;
For anyone thinking about having work done to their Honda, then deffinitely give TGM a call;
