Talk to me about suspension.
Im going to be getting some coilovers soon and i want to remove every bush, bearing, bolt etc and replace them to save in the long run. So what do i need?
Things like poly bushes.. But which ones?
Uprated arb, droplinks?
Just think in a couple of years this car will be 230+bhp and i want it to handle well so might aswell do it whilst im fitting suspension.
Cheers
Phil

I would say get super pro bushes the ebiach arb was good for me and then wheel bearings etc if u really want to go that deep with coil over try to make something out of old socks to help protect the threads if u need to adjust the ride for anything.
