Completely sorting out handling

[jase]

Barry, I'm looking at you.

Ok.. I've been meaning to sort out a lot on this car recently... just been flat out.

Anywho.. I'm thinking of getting a 4 bolt, and getting rid of the 4WS.. Now I figure that while I'm under there, I should do the bushes and what not.

Anyway, how much will it cost for nolathane-everything :lol:

I know Barry did all the bushes, but I'm just wondering if anyone who has finished building their car has done it, and whether or not it is beneficial.

Whats everyone else got by the way of suspension/handling modifications?

Currently I've got Coilovers and strut braces..

I know I need more camber up front, less camber in the rear, and I want a thicker rear swaybar.

Basically I want to do some light track work, I will be doing some "come and try" rallies in the upcoming months, and then in a year or so I plan on RWD'ing it and having some fun.

So to simplify, is nolathane worth it? And how much is it worth $$$ wise?
And what other mods would be beneficial?

ill get you a price
from memory

-front sway bar bushes (come with sway bar if u get whiteline)
-rear sway bar bushes (come with sway bar if u get whiteline)

-front control arm bushes (2 items)
the big one is used for camber (offset) u adjust it with bolt afterwards

-NOTE------big one easy to do yourself, small one.. Son OF A ******!!!.. gotta press it out with the metal sleave, but the angle is so bad that u might have to push the rubber out only, then use a hack saw, break the sleeve and then press it out

-1x rear lower control arm bush(1 in pic)
-1x rear upper control arm bush(2 in pic)

---NOTE--- press required for all

1x rear trailing arm bush (another big ******) (3 in pic)

1x subframe bush (4 in pic)
----NOTE--- i did not do this, its way tooo big... still have the bush also, its expensive too $70 bux plus i think

1x wish bone bush (made up name..haha number 1 / 2 in pic)

----NOTE-- i also didn't do this, another big one, but not hard if u have big socket pieces


anyways, thats almost all of it,
i would recommend you to only do control bushes.. none of the static ones (eg subframes etc).. only do the control arm bushes.. and sway bar
thats it..

save your time / money

if u need some prices, ill get some for ya
otherwise, anothony supply these in whiteline / nothane..
i get mackay (friend works there)

good luck jase

Slap on some pillowtops. Considered talking to anthony?

I've got everything EXCEPT coilovers & pillowtops. They will finish my susp work.
