I've already decided on gettin some weitec gt coil overs it what else should I install, are? If so which one, Polybushes? Etc

Thanks in advance for any help.

Rear arb, vrs rear bushes/TT fronts (or just all out poly as you've mentioned), new top mounts when you put your coilovers on, S3 upper n lower strut braces... To give you a couple ideas :smiley:

Sorry im not to goo with the knowledge of handling uet ha, And I have a upper neuspeed strut brace (was already on the car), and will have to look for a s3 lower strut brace.
