Chassis Upgrade

[Mike FR+]

Hi all

After Eibach replaced my front coilovers when they broke, I decided to go on a bit of a handling mission lol.

I have fit the Eibach 25mm ARB kit (front and rear), the coilovers set up properly and 4 wheel lazer alignment.

Just ordered a few goodies, bit of a Christmas prezzie for myself. Got a set of Falken FK452 (225 40 18) that worked out at £60 inc vat and delivery each.

Also ordered a Powerflex dog bone bush kit. Has anyone got any experience of these? I want to stop engine movement to keep the wheels from jumping. I am also going to look at the THS engine mounts in the future.

Do you know that the place you ordered your Powerflex stuff has actually got what you need in stock ?
If not - you might want to read about the Powerflex factory burning down, there's a thread in the general off-topic chat forum somewhere - could be a bit of a delay...

I've got this on mine, it does help with wheel hop but doesnt stop it completely. You will feel alot more vibrations through the cabin and steering wheel when fitted, but it calms down a bit after 1,000 miles.

All sorted mate, it will arrive tomorrow. I knew about the fire at the factory - they will be up and running again in January. I got my bushes elsewhere.

Chris, I heard about the vibrations, will just have to wait and see. If its bad I will hybrid the bushes. SuperPro dog bone bushes are meant to be really good too
