Russ_vr6 12 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 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!

Nex 17 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Russ_vr6 12 Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 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?

craggsy 91 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Top strut brace is a waste of money. Get a lower one for between wishbones, can really tell that's there Link to post Share on other sites
Russ_vr6 12 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Agree - as said the only way to make a top strut brace to work is if it attaches to the top mounts rather than the strut tops. Will look into the brace, ARB's and uprated bushes - what do we think about wheels - 15 or 16 inch? Thanks Guys so far! Link to post Share on other sites
