Hi All,
I've been planning this for a while now and its got to the point were im going to start picking up bits here at there.
Basically im'm going to buy new suspension for my gti6. Or everything I would need to make it drive like new again.
At the moment i have stashed away:
A hybrid arb
A phillipm lower strut brace

I was looking to do the following,
New shocks all round
New springs
New droplinks
New Top Mounts
New wishbones
Rebuilt beam with 21mm bars
Solid mounts from Daveyboy

Are there any other things i should add to the above that i may have missed out, and components or maybe bolts and nuts etc which might be important?

Im not totally decided on whether to either go OEM but with zx volcanes on the rear or Bilstein B8s up front lowered 30mm on eibachs with the back brought down 15-20mm when it comes to shocks and springs
Any opinions on that point?

Also for the bits like wishbones its Peugeot or nothing right? quality wise? I'd rather spend the extra on something good than cack stuff.

Its about building the foundations for a all round car really because atm the plan is

Suspension
Brakes (807v6) and wheels (16s)
Engine work (either a rebuilt 2.2 or supercharging, in which case i would go striaght to high boost)

Cheers mate
So keep my current wishbones but renew the ball joints and bushes yeah?
Then chuck the money saved into roller bearings?
sounds good to me
worth getting new hubs or no?

dont go cheap on the wishbones, check out Daveyboys warning thread on them.

are you going to get Rich_W roller bearings? ive seen nothing but good things said about them, although i havent got them i do have some of Rich's other products and highly recommend anything he supplies, its always top quality parts from Rich

Oh rly?
I was looking at Meyle HD wishbones.
Have you got a part number for them bushes? What's up with them, just stiffer?
Tbh it would make some sense for me to go for rollers as its very likely the car will be charged, and I understand they are quite necessary for a charged car?

I forgot to say, is there any reason not to buy used wishbones? (genuine ones)
I would clean em up, paint them and add new bushes and ball joints, I was just thinking if they really are 200 new and I dont get some feedback re:Meyle HD then its money saved that can go towards a part that will make difference. Posh droplinks or whatever.

However if they lose strength etc as i've said above i'd rather not cut corners.

I wouldn't use roller bearing stuff on a road car.

Bring on the Trumpets.

too much noise and snatching, not what I want on a road car.

similar thing with solid rear mounts, no give whatsoever which pushes the limit too far then when it lets go that's it, BOOM :/

if it was purely a track or rally car certainly.
