What do i need to make better drive ?
« 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

vRS rear beam bushes
Rear ARB  :wink:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

new engine mounts - might as well for for the full THS engine mounting system as that includes a new dogbone mount

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
