If you had £500 to spend on...
« on: April 04, 2013, 07:40:41 pm »
...improving your suspension set-up, what would you spend it on?

This looked quite interesting - http://www.bbrgti.com/product_details.php?id=3356

All comments welcomed.

Cheers

"Revised geometry and ride level" so they pretty much fit lowering springs and do the tracking for £500. Seems a bit expensive to me.

GNJ Motorsport on here sell suspension kits, not quite sure what you'd get with a £500 budget though.

I'm sure he could spend his monies better than that being on springs just  :signLOL:

I thought the BBR/Morego power grip was an extended wishbone?

Whats BBR?  :confused:

If on a budget..

THS FR3 torque mount. £70 ish
Whiteline or Superpro ALK (and front lower control arm bushes) £220 ish for ALK & Bushes
ARBS (personally I'd do both), either Autotech or H&R £350-£450 depending on where you go or if there's a GB on.

Might be £600 ish :happy2: oh and fitting and a full 4 wheel alignment but will feel and handle a lot better.

Stock car no mods and £500 to spend

Simples

Rear ARB £150
Lower Engine Mount £70
Fast road front pads £120
Geometry session £100

then enough change for a tank of fuel to go out and enjoy the handling which would be much better

a set of Bilstein B6/B8 or Koni Sport !!


"Morego Power Grip" = longer control arms for more camber

get TT arms instead > cheaper, lighter, more reliable, better !!
