Bushes will be the biggest killer to the back pocket because the labour involved to pull things out and press bushes in etc!

I have a bush press in the shed but I didn't think I would need it?

For really low and cheap, SSL king springs + your choice of shock (monroe good bang for buck, Koni / Bilstein for handling but pricey)A word from the wise - don't spend too much on your p plate ride. Wait until your older, buy a turbo car and bomb that.

aiboart Member 665 Member For: 20y 4m 21d Posted 12/11/12 09:49 AM Share Posted 12/11/12 09:49 AM (edited) Suggest you do your suspension mods in the following manner:buy the best standard size tyres you can afford. No skipping on tyre quality. No 20" wonder wheels or 25kg bling alloy lumps. leave springs standard (it is not uncool if it works) leave bushes standard and ensure standard bushes are in good condition fit Bilstein shocksThat's it.
