wanting to tighten up the front end

[alexessex_7]

Ive currently got a 182 with cup packs, i have eibach springs and strut braces fitted but recently feel that i need more from the car round the bends. Seems to be abit of play developing when sharp corning aswell. Without spending mega bucks what can i do?

cheers for any suggestions.

Polybushes and/or solid top mounts.

Solid top mounts as mentioned but spherical bearings rather than the polybushes!!

 

[JackJack]

Polybushes are better for a road car imo.

what he said, spherical bearings are a bit hardcore....and you'll be replacing them regularly...

 

[alexessex_7]

Do top mounts really make that much difference? Asts or ktec?

top mounts are awesome well worth the money mate, think i have compbrake on mine which some people slate...but theyve been on the car a few years now with no issues at all.... lol. ASTs have good reviews too

 

[JackJack]

Ktecs are fine but if you will use the extra adjust ability the go for asts.

I have had AST top mounts sitting in the garage for the last 2 months. Heard nothing but really good things about ASTs.
The reason i went for AST mounts is cause you do not need to drill the top mount with these ones which is decent.

Im hoping with having a poweflex dogbone mount and with getting my Sachs refurbished at BG motorsport adding the AST top mounts will just be 100 times better

Weren't you asking in the wanted section a little while back for tyres?

Out of curiosity, what tyres are you currently running?

While you have the front end jacked up check the track rod ends have no play in them by giving the wheel a rock left to right.
