well trodden suspension and brake upgrades?


Recommended Posts

Is there a general accepted way of upgrading?

I'm on coilovers at the mo, but wish to upgrade the various ancillaries.

So for example, are standard top mounts ok or solid needed?

Wishbone bushes-standard/r32/aftermarket better?

Wishbones-standard or off another model?

Rear axle bushes - standard or aftermarket?

Anti roll bars front and rear?

Anything I've missed?

Car will be used for both road and track use, and is a 2nd car so used for fun/odd day to run to work in.

I assume I have 288mm as mines a '96, but where do we go brake wise?

I want to stick with either 15 or 16 inch wheels - which is best for handling and feel?

Thanks! :)

I would say poly top mount

 

I have heard good things about R32 wishbone bushes

 

Rear axle bushes l would say after market

 

ARB are worth upgrading buddy, size depends on what you want and might as well upgrade the ARB bushes when there

 

I would say that it would be worth getting strut braces as well buddy :)

 

and if you want to upgrade the brake you could always go for the 312mm which will fit under 16s buddy, which with good pads should give you enough stopping power

Thanks mate-is there any strut braces that attach to the top mounts? Most seem to bolt to the strut tops by piddly little 10mm bolts - which do absolutely nothing, I know pure motor sport do a kit but unsure if they do them for mk3-I'll research :)

brakes seem ok bearing I'm on cheap pads-I've tended to use either 1155's or ds2500's - any preference on vr's?
