Define fairly simple. Compared to doing my downpipe it was easy, compared to changing a lightbulb, it was a nightmare.

I took loads of photos, perhaps i can write a how-to before this GB ends.

The hardest part is probably burning 4 of the old bushes out, makes a horrible stink. Apart from that it's all fairly straight forward.

thanks for the info jon il put my name down

[Rikki]

Quick Q, why would you require new ball joints? I noticed the option and thought I'd ask. Also if its a nessesity do you need 2 front and 2 rears?

What kind of difference will the new bushes give, firmer feel? Will it make the ride a lot harder?

Sorry for thick questions.

[SB]

I don't think its so much a case of requiring new ball joints if your old ones are fine - the ball joints are being offered cheap as part of the GB, thats certainly why I put them down - I know I need the fronts at least...

[JasonB]

Has this been advertised on mr2oc.co.uk to try and take up the last few places??

Depends partly what condition your current suspension is in. I have 1 year old Tein Flex and recently got these bushes fitted all round... feels fantastic, basically makes the shocks do all the work and keeps you nice and stiff through the corners.

Wouldn't say its made it any 'harder'.

[jim]

I really ought to check in here more often!

I'm in:

1994 REV3 turbo, not got a clue about ARB size yet, but full kit including ARB thingys too please!

I'm no mechanic, so how easy is it to find the ARB size? I wouldn't know where to look under the car! It's all original fittings if that helps.
