Westfield set up

WestfieldA freshly built Westfield was bought in to the workshop for a check over and full suspension set up.

The car had been self built by one of our customers and then it had been taken to the Wesfield factory for a full check over and IVA test.

Once the car had passed its IVA and Westfield had passed the car fit the customer collected it and bought it in to our workshops as the handling of the car was not as pinpoint as it should have been.

We checked the ride heights and corner weights which were found to be very un-equal. The car was then put on the 4 wheel aligner where the angles on the Westfield were found to be very odd. With all the settings corrected and set the customer collected his pride and joy and could not believe the difference in the driving experience.
