TT Bushes

[gazrhys]

Ok been doing some reading on having my suspension bushes done thinking of going with some TT ones upfront and maybe Fabia VRS or cupra R on the rear , ive done some searches but getting a little bit confused with part numbers for the parts i will need so was wondering if someone could share some light on this .

so far ive got :

8N0 199 282C - upper bush x2
8N0 199 282D - lower bush x2
N907 528 01 - subrame stretch bolt with bigger washer x2

Rear wishbone bushes
A8N0 407 181B
A8N0 407 182A

Thats where im getting confused which parts do i need and are these the right part numbers

And for the rear:

Cupra R - 1ML 501 541 x2
or
Fabia VRS - 6Q0 501 541 E x2

Also a poss Ibiza Cupra 6LL 501541 x2

The rear is not a problem just the front duno if im gettin the right parts i want the solid rubber TT roudster bushes can any make this simple for me please thanks

Not thought of using poly for wishbones??

 

[Seat Gooner]

all for LCR front wishbone

Ball joint = 8NO 407 365C

UPPER BUSH = 1ML 407 182

LOWER BUSH = 8NO 407 181 B

 

[gazrhys]

thanks for the replies have thought of poly but had them on a old car and thought they were a lil bit harsh for my liking have read about the TT ones on other forums and people say the are the best alternative without being to harsh .

also i hear the s3 lower brace is a good addition anyone got one and has it made a big difference?

 

[gazrhys]

o forgot to mention i only have a 1.6 16v i know it aint fast but the aim is to make it handle like its on rails as that would be the best thing i could do until i save for a bigger spec. Seat gooner doesnt the LCR have the same set up as an S3 that wouldnt be the same as my wishbone would it im not to sure you see.

 

[Seat Gooner]

yeah gaz same as the s3, im not to sure on a normal lc but i thought these mite help

if not give your local seat dealer a ring and ask for part numbers thats how i got them

 

[gazrhys]

would they have the part numbers for the bushes for the Audi TT roudster you know the solid rubber ones

 

[Seat Gooner]

i got some in my hand the part number on these are 8NO 407 181 B and i asked seat the other day and these come up as TT bushes on their systems

 

[gazrhys]

are they the solid rubber with no voids in them i take it thats the front rear bush then is it ?

 

[Seat Gooner]

yep solid ones mate and yep thats the one

 

[gazrhys]

are thankyou thats helped me out so i will need 2 of them then .

have you had the actual subframe bushes done then i take it you already have the lower brace like the S3 dont you on an LCR you think that would be a good addition to

 

[Seat Gooner]

yeah do both sides mate im in the process of changing all my bushes have you thought about doing the anti toll bar link bars and the arb bushes

yeah i got a lower and a s3 top brace and i hear its suppose to be really good addition to one with out the lower ive just sold one not so long ago

 

[gazrhys]

yeah im thinking of doing them all thats why i was askin the question about the part numbers just to make sure i get the right parts .
I want to get a new front anti roll bar well not a new one maybe source one from another car considering mine is a 1.6 will the 1.8t have a thicker roll bar than mine would be a cheap option maybe or maybe even the V5 mk4 golf thats FWD isnt it maybe even thicker unsure tho .

The idea behind it is to have a very good handling car with sharp steering response hopefully

I hear you guys with a LCR can have the R32 set up at the front which has super quick steering compared to normal that would be good

 

[Seat Gooner]

im not a 100% sure with all that mate lol

but i know people change there standard lcr arb to a r32

 

[gazrhys]

that ok then im kinda getting the idea of what il need you been a great help thanks again

 

[Seat Gooner]

Your welcome mate
