bushes? powerflex?

[boyced]

looking at getting some neuspeed arb's, it was also mentioned about getting the bushes replaced at the same time. Are powerflex the way to go? anything else worth looking at?

Do they actually make much difference?

which bushes?

makes the car a lot firmer depending on what shore compund you get

which bushes?

dunno? They said that when they fit the arb's they will need to drop the subframe, so whilst they are doing it might as well change the bushes. What bushes would they be then?

Do the Powerflex!!!

An absolute must !

I changed all bushes with Powerflex ones - even on the steering rack- the car is totally transformed - and much more stable! It is not harsh at all as you might fear - it feels tighter and much more responsive. it definately affects stability under braking and acceleration. I have neve been happier with the overall balance of my car. before it would get unsettled by uneven road ( I am on Billsteins) - now not so much - and the braking is phenomenal !

which billsteins did you go for?

Hi

Bilstein sporting

the yellow ones with blue labels

Sachs springs - a bit of a mismatch- it is a bit harsh up to 70 mph but afterwards the car is sweet. I am impressed by the adjustability of the setup - understeer is not present unless you are really stupid... lift off oversteer is progressive....
ut gets unsettled by bumps and uneven roads... but you have to trust it

I am to change to coilovers soon bit first on the line is the T U R B O setup ...



waiting for the pistons , and the T3 super 60 .....

' got an ICooler, blow off and wastegate already...

will post the buildup here
