Anyone using tubular wishbones?

[rockmonkey69]

I'm looking to improve the handling a bit and just wanted to see if anyone is using tubular wishbones and whether you had any issues with the rose joints if you use it on public road.

I guess few to no run tubular wishbones

I dont have tubular wishbones with rose joints myself but I would say that they would be too stiff and proberly shake the car to piece on public roads.
I dont know if you have these already but I would just get polybushes, up rated arb, strut braces and some good coilovers

[rockmonkey69]

I was not sure whether they would be that bad, I was more concerned about the wear.
I have started doing handling mods and have Bilstein B16 pss9 coilovers, compbrake solid top mounts, neuspeed 25mm front antiroll bar, neuspeed 25mm rear antiroll bar, front lower s3 strut brace, front upper strut brace, rear upper strut brace, super pro dog bone mount bush (gearbox bush), powerflex dog bone bush, super pro castor wishbone bushes, super pro wishbone bush, powerflex rear axle bushes, super pro steering rack bush, NEX large piston 4 pot calipers on 13" two piece floating disks with HEL lines everywhere running ATE Super blue brake fluid, 17" rota drift wrapped in Yokohama semi slick tyres and car has been lightened to 1120kg (+/- 20kg)

 :shocked:That is one nice set up, your not going to get much better than that unless you get a weld in roll cage

It's what some would consider to be a good start, I need to lighten it a bit more, can definitely do more significant weight loss and a better weight distribution. That aside I was looking at, tubular wishbones, solid billet subframe bushings, carbonetic LSD and undercarriage re-inforcement. Just been trying to get some feedback to decide what best to do next after I put my forged 1.8t block back in.

One hell of a setup already!

[rockmonkey69]

It drives well enough and very flat as there's little flex with plenty of traction, steering is also precise enough but the suspension geometry feels like it changes a bit much for my liking during hard cornering and on exiting corners I feel I have to take off too much steering before I can feed the power in.

An LSD not help with stability when putting power down on coners.
