Possibly Eibach prolines as I think they are black but would have eibach written on them somewhere. Looks about standard height to me, most I'd do would be some sportline springs and make sure its minty fresh underneath! Great car!

Nice car Ollie. Will keep an eye out for you! Pretty sure standard sport springs are just black and the rears have pink and white paint dots round the bottom. What colour are they on yours? Red are eibach sportlines or mark fish ones, and yellow are likely Apex.

1000lb front and 400lb rear iirc.

Sweet :) Worth bearing in mind, glad I could be of help!

Try superflex, them did some decent bushes for a friends one off project. I have linked the "universal bushes" page http://www.superflex.co.uk/categories.php?cat=73

I agree with this but the poor guy has already bought them! Lol. I shore tested the renault arb bushes and wishbone bushes on new arms and they are about 60 shore. Quite hard for oe when you consider powerflex purple stuff is about 75, and if you look at the design of the renault bush there is...

Best way Ive found to check is the wheel play test, although the brake caliper stops you moving the wheel. Its a bit of a faff but almost always finds a dodgy bearing. Remove the caliper, tie out of the way, refit wheel, then test for play. If its only noisy and you have done hardly any distance...

Get a big hairy screwdriver between then bar and chassis and see if you can move the bar. If the movement is excessive then its knackered but tbh they look ok. ARB bushes start looking too big for the bar when they have given up. For vagueness check tracking then track rods/rack mounts.

^^ Sound advice. Also be careful with your abs sensors as they probably wont come out of your hub without breaking them and they are about £60 quid each. Easy enough to work round but keep and eye on them. Don't really matter what order you do it in.

I have raced on a set of A048r's the wrong way round before. Absolutely fine in the dry. And to be honest they had more grip for the first couple of laps. Wouldn't want to risk it If there was any chance of rain though! Getting back to pits even after a sprinkle could be exciting.

I would go to cornering force purely because the guy knows his stuff, has very good customer service and the cost of the refurb which is cheaper than BG, includes sand blasting and powder coating. No doubt BG refurbs will be top quality also.

Ditto. And also toe out or a larger offset wheel.

Personally I dont think it needs doing that often. They do slowly deteriorate and most seem to give up after around 4 years. I have just had mine done (£400 in total from cornering force) and they awesome now. Couldnt believe the difference in the feel of the car. On normal runs down the...

p.s. its always worth an email to camskill and see if they will knock any off for you. I emailed when I was after a seasons worth of yoko's for my old race car and they sent me a discount code for them!

^^ good price!
