Anyone used them for geometry/alighnment set up?
Web site talks the talk.
But any first hand experience?

I've been on their dyno a couple of times. They're top people.

Shame the Hunter kit isn't very accurate (it's designed to be quick) and the monkey operating it won't have much of a clue  ;D

I've heard that hunter machines are easy to cheat but I'm no expert.
I suppose its the same old story.
Its a very popular machine but that doesn't mean its the best.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Defo the operator would play a huge part in getting the job done properly. Plus it helps my mate is the operator ;)

Thats my general understanding. The kit is fine. It's who is using it that makes the difference.

s12vea

Keep a watchful eye over them doing it.

Or I may revisit wheels in motion that done it last time.
Stick with what I know.

I take it that you would tell them the settings you want on the car?

Is it worth giving them a try as no doubt it would be cheaper than wim?

I wouldn't be so sure Northampton Motorsport would be cheaper.
you may find you can't get in before February anyway.

@Topdownman
I would go armed with what was dialed in at Wim.

@jonbill
Wow. That tells its own story re availability.
