Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Yes yes yes yes yes, yes.
I asked about bushes some time ago, but there seemed to be none.
Poly bushes make a nice diff to a car in my experience - and pretty cheap.
If you like your steering/suspension precise they are a must.

As in who are you buying from and having install - Fulcrum do a lot of Koni stuff (did my Charade) so I thought maybe them.
Then again you may be doing it all yourself......Comment

oh ok i understand now (been a long day for me )
No i ordered the bushes from UK as i found it was easiest, and ordered the suspension through my mate, i can get the koni kit for $1400 btw. ANd having my mechanic install them, i was going to but just wont have the time.Last edited by shaneth; 05-03-2008, 10:35 PM.Comment

Are your Konis the yellow jobbies with the white twistie knob?
If so, they are good stuff.
Though I found you tend to end up leaving the settings in the one spot. Too hard and they understeer like a common FWD with an extra 100kgs hanging off the bonnet.
Springs as well?
How much for the Poly stuff?Comment
-
I think so peter, i havent seen them yet but they are the yellow adjustable ones. so im guessing so. and yes that includes springs 30-35mm lowering. As for the bushes i paid 165 including postage i think.Comment

Hmmm ... thinking ... thinking ...

Pretty good price for the bushes.
I'm a firm believer in replacing every single soft squishy bush in a car with some nice firm poly. Really gives you a feel for the road and you can start telling the steering & suspension where you want to go rather than suggesting it and hoping it complies.Comment
