Handling mods ?

[Mark 4]

I've got Gowf coilovers here ready to fit. I've done the polybushes, drop links, upper and lower arms and track rod ends and will be ordering camber kits very soon. Swaybars from PT's group buy will be fitted when they arrive.
What other worthwhile mods are there ?

when you say polybushes do you mean just the engine mounts or the full suspension kit.
full suspension kit consists of:-
rear end suspension (hub carrier mount points to arms , trailing arm to chassis, top arm to chassis ), rear shock tops, front shock tops, front upper suspension arm to chassis, front lower straight arm to chassis.

you probably will not need the the shock tops as you have Gawf's suspension.

this is the kit i intend to fit to mine from energy suspension.

and i believe Peter Thompson has this kit fitted to his car and was very happy with it.

Done the lot mate.

nothing if the ones you are taking off are still ok and not warn.

if the bar between the ball joint are flppy and easy to move, or tug the anti roll bar and listen/feel for clucks, if you can do either of these then change them.

you can get both from camskill about £23 a pair front and back. or get the eclipse ones off ebay, about the same price. the ones marked legnum vr4 are over priced at £38 a pair.


Edit:-
gosh you lot are quick with the postings. i was refering to the droplinks in the post.

Oops sorry - just seen yours is a saloon !

Can you get same for the galoon ???

Are you at the point where camber/castor adjustment is worth considering? I read on here recently somewhere about camber adjustment kits.

[Nick Mann]

Heh! It has been bumped today - it was only a few posts below this on the new posts screen!

Yes Nick, I plan on a camber kit, Gowf mentoned castor to me bot don't know of any kits ?

[Davezj]

caster is front and back movement on the upper arm right.

so if you know how far you need to go can you just slot the holes in the chassis, cut old treads out and weld on new nut to the inside of the chassis.

but you would only consider this if there really was no other way of doing it.

[Mark 4]

Thanks Nick, I had seen that thread but not read it fully. Would others be interested in this ? I would be happy to organise a group buy.

[Oblivion]

Damn it, my 'to buy' list just got a bit longer after reading this!

Totally agree. Get thee to a racetrack and find a good racing instructor.
