Title: What do i need to make better drive ?
Post by: rakesh27 on 27 August 2009, 12:03

Guys,

I wanna get

1) Bushes (for which part)

2) Dogbone bush - i know this helps traction

3) droplinks - Does this mean i can lower the front more since the driveshaft wont rub on arb, what about rear since i want to lower as well.

Thanks - i need advice, thanks

Steve,

I really didnt want spend lots,

If i was gonna replace the front bushes which ones do i need for better firmer ride and steering response, also am i correct on the droplinks.

Audi TT rear wishbone bushes (front wishbone but the rear bush) plus what Steve has put

vRS bushes are £30
Rear ARB is £150 approx

to get a MKIV to handle decently you've got to be prepared to spend a few quid

if you dont want to spend loads go for the ARB, that will make the biggest difference  :wink:

Would i need front (Obvously) and rears to make more tighter feel, and what about doplinks, would that able me to lower the front alittle more.

I ask this cos ive already got JOM coilovers fitted and lowered pretty good, but if i go to low my front right tyre when turning left rubs driveshaft rubbing on arbs. I would like to lower front and rear.

My JOM have a range 20mm-110mm
