Hi all, we at Powerflex have developed some new front suspension bushes for the Mk7 Fiesta and require a car to trial them on.
We are based in Uxbridge and would need the car for 4 to 5 hours. The new bushes will be fitted (free of course) and a small amount of road testing carried out, we will need some longer term feed back from the owner as well.
Contact me if your up for it.

Do you need a standard car or does it matter if it already has aftermarket coilovers fitted?

I emailed them because I work about 5 mins away from where they are based. So was easy for them to pick car up etc

My car was used to test out the the Front Arm Rear Bush last friday.
It was the same design that they have used on other cars, they just needed to test it on the actual car before putting it on sale.
Powerflex already had the Front Arm Front Bush, the Front Anti Roll Bar To Chassis Bush and the Rear Beam To Chassis Bush available, but not the Front Arm Rear Bush.
Paul, the Design & Development Manager, has just updated the website with the new bushes, which some of their customers had already put orders in for.

I have had all 3 sets of the front bushes replaced.
And am very impressed with the results, the front of the car was noticeably more direct when going in to turns and there was a LOT less flex in the suspension.
Results were as expected, but I have never had uprated bushes fitted to a car so didn't realise how much difference they would make.
