    You guys should invest in a 3D camera wheel alignment system, it’s costing you ££ in the labour time lost taking it some where else.
    Your customer base is ideal for it, it would easily pay for itself.
    Hunter systems are excellent but are very expensive, other brands like Hoffman, absolute alignment etc are just as good, do the same job but are cheaper.

      We did have one but sold it years ago for so many reasons.
      The completion in the area just makes it a slow return as we have Tweeks and another with great kit very close.
      I get the theory but in this area the value isn’t there.
      Hugely appreciate the time to comment and hope you enjoyed 🤞

    Very informative presentation guys thank you. I am interested as I have Mountune lowering springs but do not want to get the bilstein dampers yet as I like the ride setup as it is. However ..... I am planning to keep my FoST (16 plate) long term and an considering Powerflex bushes on the rear as I have done the front wishbone rear suspension, engine mount and roll bar bushes. I am doing this just to replace parts that are going to wear eventually and I don't think this mod will stiffen the ride up too much. So my questions are 1. How long (given average driving) would you expect the standard bushes to last (mixed driving and not ragging on the car too much (50000 miles?) . 2. Would you agree that the ride will not get stiffened up too much (10%?) when I get them done. Cheers in advance .... I would very much appreciate a reply.

    GREAT video and funny too! just a suggestion, maybe do a quick drive review of what you installed? You got to test drive the car anyway to make sure everything is tip top?

    • @BDPerformanceWrexham
      @BDPerformanceWrexham  4 года назад +1

      Unfortunately we had to be in DT for 4.30, the alignment took an hours so we didn’t have time! Certainly something we can try to sort next time.
      Thanks for the constructive feedback though 💙

    Great video, I have just come across this as I'm doing some research.
    I have just changed all my arms and replaced all bushes with poly bushes, when I put car back together and test drove, its extremely bouncy, I replaced all of the bolts and rear shocks with standard oe replacements, any ideas???

      We didn’t have time on this one; it was down to the wire unfortunately with the alignment off site at 4.30pm 🤦‍♂️

    Great vid and banter 😂, on the gfb dv+ what would you say is the best/safest setting, I think base setting is the centre Alan bolt for the plunger is flush with the body but can be screwed in about 4 turns I think? 🤷‍♂️, keep these vids coming got to see Bens tutorial corner lol👍🏼👍🏼

    • @BDPerformanceWrexham
      @BDPerformanceWrexham  4 года назад +1

      Tbh we’ve hardly fitted any GoFasterBits parts. The kit looks the nuts but the name let it down.
      As for the settings - with a lower power car; we would always suggest bias towards Recirc or they don’t sound too good.
      Thanks for watching and the support Ryan 💙

      If you have lowering springs the B8s are better suited for lowered cars. I have an ST as well and that's what I went with.

    You guys will know better than anyone but when i go over certain rough bits of road or small pot holes i get a hell of a bang, It annoys the hell out me and i cant see what is wrong, Its not droplinks, . It is lowered on Eibachs, Standard shocks and i am running RS wheels. Defiantly think its a harsher ride with the wheels Bushes look fine, Not sure if top mounts would cause a bang. Maybe upgrading to the Billys would be a good mod. Are they stiffer?

    When the customer gets fed up with the squeaky powerflex bushes after 9 months, replace with superpro. They hold their lube and don't squeak.
