Title: Suspension & brake Upgrade
Post by: Mk5 GTian on January 16, 2013, 11:03:54 am

I'm back at work soon after 4 long months since my accident so I will be back on the slippery slope very soon! So glad I'ver come through this period without having to sell the car. It was touch and go for a bit!

My next mod is planned for April, and involves the NQSBBK &  Bilstein B12 Kit, but what else should I do whilst the wheels, brakes and suspension bits are off? I was thinking of an anti-lift kit and ARB's. Which brands are best for these, and is there anything elso I should do/get checked?

good to see your going for the NQSBBK. i love mine.

Definately go for a anti lift kit. I also had the front lower wishbone bushed upgraded to polybushes. The front of the car feels much tighter now.

On this theme gents, i've recently had all 4 bushes changed to poly bushes and was advised that essentially this is the same as having an anti-lift kit, is this correct??  :confused:

Thanks Ben, if you recall I bought my WALK from you last year, but it's on the old car! I'm going to go Superpro for ALK I think, judging by my other thread's responses. Did you go Superpro for your lower wishbone bushes?

Yes i remember. I ended up getting another WALK kit. Did not know about problems with the alk. will keep an eye on mine and maybe o for SALK in future.

The front lower bushes i have are Superpro.
