Post by: scottyboy08 on 20 March 2009, 19:15
hey all i have finally decided to slam the golf  :smiley:
i got my hottuning coilovers and an fk front anti roll bar for her and i have also booked her in on the 4th april to get it all fitted for just £100  :smiley:
but i would like to check everything for one last time....
coilovers i got the 2 front struts and the 2 shocks and 2 springs for the rear.....
and the front anti roll bar is there anything else at all i need to make it as successful as possible?
i.e. do i need adjustable drop links? any new bushes? top mounts?
or should it be ok as it stands at the minute?
thanks alot for help guys cya soon
