I am looking to replace my Pillowball bushes and while trying to find the best deal I can I have come across a company called Hardrace that do a full kit at a good price, So I was just wondering if anybody had any experience of these and if so were they ok ?

This is the link to their website below

I have decided to give the cars suspension an overall this winter, So thinking new coilovers and bushes.

(The car is only ever going to be used for fast road use if that helps with any advice)

I am thinking HSD Dualtech's and I have seen them new on ebay including postage for £615, which I think seems decent so anybody's feedback on these or links to a better deal would be awesome. The other option I am considering is BC Racing BR (RS) Series which are a little more at about £690 ish but if they are way better I am happy to go with those links to cheaper deals on these would be great, but again if anybody has any other options they have experience of in this sort of price range let me know.

Bushes wise I have read that the Super Pro's are the better option (happy for people to correct me on that), but I am unsure of what exactly I need as they do a kit for front and rear but will I need to replace anything else? any links and expected prices for these would a massive help too.

Cheers in advance

Awesome write up as ever mate, I need to freshen up my full suspension setup think it’s going to need front and rear bush kit and a fresh set of coilovers too

So my FD has been sat for a while and so the battery was flat so charged it up over night and decided to start it up and take it for a drive. All is good in the world except about every 3 seconds I get a beep any ideas what it could be?
The car drove absolutely fine only issue was this bloody beeping! Lol

Well I got the hub off but not without a fight, but it was the brake carrier that caused the issue as the bolt snapped in the bugger I managed to take the full hub with Disk and carrier off anyway and removed the snapped bolt but now lies my current problem I can’t find a bolt with the same thread to replace the snapped one, so if anybody knows where I could source one from? Or has a spare let me know .
I am a bit gutted because I wanted the car on the road for a show this weekend too

How do you find the BC’s as I have been looking at getting different ones for mine as I currently have HKS ones which are old and not great to be honest

What suspension setup are you running now? I will go back over your posts but just to bring me up to speed quick lol as for your road wheels I very nearly bought a set the same in gold with chrome lips and I have to say the colours worked

Yeah sorry I haven’t been on as much as I should life sort of gets in the way and having 4 little ones too time is not always something I have all that much of

Yeah it’s ceased bloody thing, my power bar/breaker bar was proper flexing I was worried it snapped, so might have to try and limp it down to my mates garage, problem is I hate being defeated so I might resort to the angle grinder

Clive: no mate it wasn’t me on the phone about the bearing
I think or should I say hope I have the right one won’t know till I pull the hub tho I guess so I could be on the phone soon

Lol quick job turned into a few week nightmare thing is it’s not just time it’s the bloody money too, but that said we wouldn’t do the buggers if we didn’t love them lol

Always the same with these older cars tho take one thing off to fix something and find many more things that need to be sorted it’s never ending

Not been on in a while but then I haven’t been using the car much at all this year!
So here is an update it passed its MOT two months ago it has a few little advisories that I need to sort but nothing worrying, I then did a local car show that same weekend and that’s been it’s lot. It got parked up and forgotten about.
Mainly due to the rear wheel bearing that it was advised on which decided on the way back from the car show to become louder than the bloody exhaust lol
Anyway I now have a wheel bearing so if I can get the time that’s this weekends job so if anybody has any tips or a guide for the rear bearing please share, hopefully I will be on here and spending more time with the car again now!
I have also bought but yet to fit two trackrods, 99 spec y pipe, and crossover, some HKS hardpipes for my smic and a new headunit as well as a vented headlight cover there is probably more bits I have bought and forgotten that need fitting lol but I am also on the look out for a Greddy elbow if one comes up cheap let me know lol
