Doh! I\'ll start again,
 
I own a UK spec twin turbo. Recently the sunroof and windows have deleloped a mind of their own, constantly closing themselves although the problem seems to improve the longer the cars running??? Does anyone know what may be causing this?
 
Secondly, I want to sharpen up the handling and besides fitting new dampers/springs, was considering powerflex bushes from Ebay. Has anyone got any experience of these? Does anyone know the best all round spring/damper kit for mainly general road use?
 
Cheers guys, Nick.

Powerflex bushes are quite good, firm up the ride a bit though....

Getting the old bushes out can be a bit of a nightmare!

I would go super pro bushes, Bilstein Sports damper, Tanabe G210 spring. I have had great result with this set up. You should also consider roll bars to counter act the roll.

Currently we would not be able to fit as we\'re in the process of moving so alot of our equipment is already away. As a result we only doing mail oreder until we set up in the new place.

As a rough guideline, Rotechniks quoted me £250 labour to swap the suspension on my rex (all four corners).  If you are doing the bushes and arbs, it would cost more.

That said, Rotechniks are reputed to be expensive...
