Is this a good setup?

Post by den0va »

Tax money has finally come through (not as much as I was expecting :( ) and I am wanting to get a good feeling suspension on my FTO, as currently it feels like absolute crap.

Here's what I was thinking of doing:
- TEIN Pillowball Topmounts
- Lovell Lowered Springs
- KYB excel G shocks All Around
- New Droplinks All Around
- New Poly Sway Bar Bushes
- New Poly Control Arm Bushes
- Whiteline Front Strut Brace

Is this a decent enough setup?

Sounds great........but if it was me I would dump the pillowmounts and add a rear strut bar instead ;)

.....and I thought if money was tight , it would be better spent on a rear strut bar :D

Money doesn't really concern me to be honest, hmm... Is there any other aftermarket option or do I have to go with rubber ones?

Get some thicker sway bars, a GPR subframe, fender bars, rear strut brace, lower it a bit more, stiffen it up and it will cut through corners like an automated cutting machine!
