Dog bone on 03 210 cupraR

Sounds like a good mod if you got the money..

you could get an LSD?

Be better off with a Peloquin or Quaife ATB Diff

(Automatic Torque Bias) Diff see Quaifes web site for more info

£1,200 ish fitted by the likes of JBS etc

Having driven an LCR with one fitted it does make a huge difference

 

[Ruddmeister]

........Then again for less than £1,200 you could buy a decent suspension setup which would also help

The ATB diff is a MASSIVE improvement, the dog bone an ickle improvement and adds vibration (I hate mods that have a downside to them), but it is cheap

My Peloquin cost me £1000 including fitting but I imported it myself which saved a couple of hundred

Agreed on the ATB but whether on a phase1/2 remapped LCR the quaife ATB or £1,200 of suspension mods works better would be open to opinion.....


Virbation on the Dog bone depends (in my experience)....
- Whether people torque the dog bone back up correctly
- Whether people use the cheap £20 bushes or go for something a little better quality http://www.eiptuning.com/ecomm/proddetail.php?prod=E0308001

..........everyone told me the EIP was a rip off at £80 for the whole replacement units - but I never got any vibration back into the car, you pay your money and make your choice

I'm sure there are other suppliers of this type of kit, rather than cheap poly £10 bushes

not being funny whats a dog bone and is it difficult to fit

 

[Cupraloon]

Fitted mine about 3 months ago now, after a while it did stop vibrating, but now i'm getting a slight metal jigga, jigga vibration type noise when pulling away, going to have to jack it up and check things out me thinks...

Yes mine is cheap £20 bushes. I would definitely be up for shelling out a few quid more for something that did the job with less vibration. Pity EIP are no longer in business at $80 that would only be £40 at current exchange rates.

I seem to remember there was another company doing complete mounts (can't remember the name) but remember reading they didn't last very long (the mounts that is )??
