Just had wheels refurbed last week and possible DPF removal in near future. Great car but it's not my VTi-s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Busy day today. What a horrible job to do on jack's. The bushes were absolutely shot as you can see. The LCA literally swung about had that much movement in the bushes. And the trailing arm bush well picture says it all.

KiNK43 Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) So that's out with the old. Here's in with the new. Cleaned everything up without going mad. Not being mega OCD as cars there to be driven. So replaced the trailing arm bushes with poly. Recommend this type, there dead easy to fit. Got some skunk2 lower arms as liked the colour combo. Matched what I'm doing elsewhere and subtle. And some Meister R zeta pro coilovers. Getting excited going to be transformed!!! Also have some hardrace rear camber arms to sling on another day. Want to paint them black first. Edited June 7, 2020 by KiNK43 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Wow, that'll make a vast difference. Great work as always 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Arse end is done now. Correct length bolts fitted to shock. New clevis pins in the handbrake as had to cut them off. Hardrace upper arms fitted. And raised up 10mm. Think I like it that height. Sensible. Probably got about an hour's work on the fronts and can go get an alignment. Can anyone recommend camber and toe settings? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Mate that height looks spot on, plus will go some ways to help protect that stunning undercarriage. Think Ali (burbleboy) might be able to help with the settings or Dan DMRichards? Loving how clean this looks, credit to you bud! DD also needs those bushes replaced although they passed the mot but they look completely shot. It's deffo on my list of things to get done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
