So, I went for a blast in the car tonight, up and down black mountain and mount ainslie (twice).

Holy f**king Shit. My car sticks oh so much like glue now, it ooozes confidence in a corner. I figured i'd have a fairly different beast to drive, but this was just ridiculous.

I had a friend come for a ride and he simply couldn't believe the sheer amount of grip i had (he drives a WRX, slightly modded).

This was just SK's Bush kit (the lot, camber, caster front, subframe and 2x camber rears). Roughness of the car hasn't really changed, But its so much tighter now.

Unbelievable.

Highly, HIGHLY recommended. Best $800 i've spent on a car, ever.

how much is it to get fitted, so this is just bushes???

Couldn't really tell you, Ask Marc2. I had a ton of other work done as well.

And yes, all i had done was the Bushes (bushes were about $800)

Edited by nsanity

bushes are pretty good value. theyr a C U Next Tueday to change though.

I redid all the bushes in the datsun before i changed all the suspenion over and the amount of flex you shed just from having things sits tight in there spot rather then flex and jiggle around is phenominal. I used Nolathane bushes.

2nd best value thing to do to suspension is bushes.

best value is sway bars by miles.

I fitted the full kit to my 33 about a month ago. Marc2 did the bushes and wheel alignment. I went the whole hogg, shocks, springs, adjustable sway bars and all the bushes in the group buy. Also fitted a front strut brace and HICAS bar. It completely transformed the cars handling. I love it. Like nsanity said, highly recommend it. Also saved about $700 just on parts alone.

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/  
    • That would be my Shoei helmet
    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
