ok, this might have been posted before but i'm after a bit of info!

 

I posted a thread a while ago about a shudder when i brake. I got some replies about worn tension rod bushes. But, me being nieve, i thought it was warped discs and spent £450 on new discs and pads!

 

Anyway, i've now decided to go in and change the bushes but i thought i'd uprate the suspension at the same time!

 

My questions are:

 

Has anyone had any experience of the KYB AGX Adjustable struts that smithy sells?

 

Does anyone know where i can get a decent set of lowering springs to go with them?

 

Cheers

look at swz as they do a set of kyb's and eibach springs, appears to be one of the best suspension set ups for road use and driveability.

fit uprated arb's as well

KYB AGX & Eibachs are by far the most popular suspension setup. They are a very good setup for the money.

this mihgt sound daft but what are ARB's?

 

EDIT: dont matter.......looked on swz's website and found out myself!

Anti-roll bars (called Sway bars in the U.S). Aftermarket bars are solid and thicker and replace the stock hollow bars. They provide less bodyroll than standard without really affecting ride quality.

 

Usually adjustable so you can alter the vehicles understeer/oversteer.

 

Stillen & Whiteline are the two more popular manufacturers.

they do arb bushes but i advise replacing the arb's with adjustable uprated ones, have heard great things about the whiteline ones

and legrath beat me to it

arbs do make alot of differance, seems odd to drive for a while with uprated arbs,especially when cornering hard
