Getting my geo set... Going to go for 2 camber and 0.1 minutes toe out. The camber I'm happy with, but have I got my units correct for the toe setting?
Definitely! It's taken me a couple of months to get the parts together.
Off the top of my head:
Dampers £40-45 each (£180)
Powerflex £100
Inner track rods £80
Outers £35
Ball Joints £35
Rack bushes £25
Need to get my geo done again now too.
I hunted round a lot on prices.
Genuine parts were cheapest from Adam by a mile.
Powerflex were cheapest from K-Tec of all places!
Ball joints were Lemforder and from ECP with a 50% discount code!
I think all in it's cost me about £6-700 for the parts fitted.
To get this back on track ;)
The wishbones I think must have been damaged in post. Mike managed to straighten it the 1.5mm that it was out!
The gearbox I bought, discussion got a bit heated, but it was Agency themselves telling me that it was buggered and after the seller spoke to them we...
I'd intended to do it myself so had bought all the parts. For various reasons I needed someone to do it and Mike was good enough to take my parts and do the labour. Turned out to be a good job as it was a nightmare, bolts stuck, BJ stuck in the hub and the sub frame needed to be dropped...
Finally got the suspension refresh finished on my car with a big thanks to Mike @ MWM.
Wow, what a difference it makes! New dampers, powerflex bushes, ball joints, inner & outer track rods and rack bushes. It drives like a different car! Bumps are handled much better and you can feel the ARB...
Maybe I've just had bad luck, but of all the stuff I've bought off here in good faith and being described as in good condition, they all been a load of s**t!
"Working gearbox" was fubar and no use other than for the case.
"Good condition wishbones" one of which is bent!
"good condition...
What building are you in mate?
The blue arctic is in today, it's just by the building on the left as you leave Elmwood.
My car is out with MWM at the moment. Full polybushing and suspension refresh going on.
Wish I'd seen this the other week! I bought Renault parts (7701473656) for £40 a side as I was told no others were wide enough for cup pack or cup cars.
Thanks for that. Saved me! Cancelled the lemforder order and have gone for oem from Renault.
The rack bushes are £22. If I don't use them ill sell them on.
