alrighty i bought wishbones from euro car parts, got kwick fit to do an off the books bush swap too the tt ones (they positioned the bushes wrong but only noticed when had old ones off lol had to grind one in half to get it out, so they had to go on but will sort it once get time upgraded the drop links aswell, still get a clunk from time to time from steering??????????

going to lower it asap as got rear spacers and waiting to buy fronts, plus thinking of changing the colour on the alloys i just had done white maybe black centres leaving a white deep dish rim.

Nothing wrong with the wishbones but the bushes and balljoints supplied with them are crap

Replace the bushes with TT items and balljoints with OEM stuff
