Whiteline Anti Lift Kit

[vRSAlex]

I was unaware that SuperPro made the bushes for Whiteline.  I will enquire with SuperPro to see what they say.

....I was told this by JKM who usually get their facts right. Note that they said that this was only in the early days of WALK.

Response just in from SuperPro:

'Whiteline bushes were made by SuperPro up to 5-6 years ago.

This included the Subaru anti lift kit which had a SuperPro bush fitted to a new bracket – although we offer the same result on this car with a bush which fits the original Subaru mount & avoids the sub-frame fouling issues.

The VW Anti lift kit was done after they switched supply to North Korea & did not use SuperPro bushes or material.'

alex, how much are the superpro bush inserts for the walk kit.... not that i need them replacing yet after you supplied with with nice newish unsplit ones  but just for future reference?

Just the SuperPro bush retails at £100.76.  You would need to fit them into your original consoles.

acid wheel cleaners are nasty stuff. they will ruin any nice looking brake / suspension metal very quickly.

For regular use i use and recommend autoglym custom wheels (or simply acid free wheel cleaner in its trade form)

....Phew! That's good to know  - I only use Autoglym Custom Wheels (or Meg's NXT shampoo).

....Well, I wasn't too far out: There has been SuperPro history.

Thanks for the more accurate info, Alex. You wouldn't have learnt this if I hadn't posted what I had heard

Very true.

had my WALK bushes checked today when ub and xb fitted, all ok so far

Is it worth me replacing the subframe bolts with these?

They are cheaper from VW mate by about £5. See Mandy's thread for part no's 

....But aren't these ECS bolts a different spec and much better than VW OEM's?

They look like the ones we just bought in a Group Buy here.

I may have missed a thread or two Robin but I was under the impression that the two were the same thing (with a difference in price)?? I'm sure Mandy and a few others just bought the OEM ones which cured the subframe movement & noise.

Just had a look at the group buy, they are purchased from TPS which I believe means they are OEM parts (TPS only seem to sell genuine parts). I may be wrong though 

How do I diagnose if my current bolts have stretched and need replacing?

noise !!

Am thinking of getting the WALK as I use mine on track a couple of times a year and have noticed lift and spinning up of the inside wheel accelerating out of a corner.

Does anyone have the part number of the bolts to change as well please? Is it worth changing them anyway? I was also thinking of changing the other mount parts (part number?) that have been mentioned, but just replacing it for a new set of OEM ones, as I don't want to make the ride harder.

I would go with the SuperPro console bushes that fit into the oem consoles if I had to do it again.

I did do it again and went SuperPro

....So would I. I'm not at all unhappy with my Whiteline's but the SuperPro with lighter weight arms represents very good value.

....Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but most suspension mods which effectively improve handling or the transmission of power to the road/track (no difference) will result in a "harder" ride. The trick is to do mods which don't result in a "harsh" ride. Harder and stiffer is what helps keep your car better planted and which gives you improved driver feedback.

Look at all the handling mods I have (Quaife diff, engine mounts, coilovers, WALK, UNIbraces, ARB's, brakes) - Modding is a slippery slope!

[Duke]

Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated. So is the SuperPro console bushes just another make doing the same thing? If so then I will go for that.

In terms of the ride, what I really meant was I didn't want the effect of hard springs/coilovers, solid engine mounts etc and so this seemed to be a good solution where day to day you don't notice but works well on track/swift driving? I had the issues it is meant to help with on track a lot, so was hoping it would be a decent mod to help improve that side without spending a fortune :)

anyone have a link for prices for superpro?
