Anni is getting a revamp, any suggestions?

[Leroy]

Ok, my 16v anni is booked in at the end of the month to get all the niggles sorted, the suspension is shot for starters so thats the priority but having my magnex backbox fitted, service and cambelt as a precaution as well as not had a service since i bought it. heres a list of whats due to be done:

1) JOM coilovers fitted
2) Front and rear FEBI top mounts fitted
3) FEBI rear axle bushes changing

Do you recommend any other suspension parts being changed while i'm at it?

So the mechanic is having my car for a week, so if you were me is there anything else you would do while its in there???

I've had the floorpan welded and waxoiled so after its mechanically sound, i'll get onto the body work so i'm planning on gettting the plastic arches, trim and bumpers off and having the rust treated and a bottom half respray as top half is sound. Will get a thread going when work starts properly.

Any advice gratefully received.

check the anti roll bar bushes and links,

I would also advise checking the rear suspension arm bushes (hold the wheel at 3 & 9 oclock and push/pull to see if there's movemenet (it's essential to have sound bushes when running low as when these are worn it won't track right when driving))

Cheers BB, i think as noone else has posted that should about cover it.

I should of really said the front suspension arm bushes (the rear one's), If you get the car jacked up I would also check all the arm bushes/ arb's as they all seem to be a fairly common issue
also check the engine & box mounts as even on std cars they fail and any engine movement on low cars seems to be magnified

Cheers buddy! I'll get on it.
