Got a nice condition 260bhp SC NA. Going to get a bit of suspension work done. Thinking of:

 

 

Ball joints

Track rod ends

Toe links

Clean up wishbones etc

Quick rack (finally)

Nitron NTR with uprated rear springs (if needed)

Geo

 

 

Anything else while they have her up on the ramps?

 

Max budget likely to be 3k (ideally 2.25 - 2.5)

 

 

Your collective suggestions welcomed.

 

 

Cheers

Bushes? 

HCB's?

New camber shims?

Hubs?

Nut and bolt swap?

Lock tab washers?

 

How extensive do you want to be?

Quite extensive, I think.

 

Please keep 'em coming.

1 inch ARB?

ARB drop links

Braided brake lines - if yours are looking a little rusty at the connectors

 

You probably wont be happy putting old brake discs back on - but depends on their current condition.

Braided brake lines for blingness.

I'd get the complete set of already refurbed wishbones and nitron bushes that Junks had for sale

[FLD]

You could get the wishbones plated too.

[Stevie Dubyah]

Nitron bushes..... I was going to go OEM with the bushes. 

 

I will definitely be cleaning up the wishbones. Give JG a run for his money (kidding). I will look at Junks post.

 

I have no idea what a bump steer kit is. I will check it out.

 

ARB - interesting. Hadn't thought of that.

 

Bushes and shims are a given.

 

Thank you all. Plenty to be getting on with there.

All mentioned already, I'd get the bushes, ARB and steering rack assuming nothing on the car is failing or worn out.
