Poly bushes here we come!

whats the damage for fitting Nick?

It's one of those jobs thats hard to price without getting into it. If the bolts come undone easily enough and everything goes smoothly it might not be too bad, if everything is a pig to do then the labour could be a bit scary :shock:

I hope it works out cheap! I think I will be using TGM to get my Teins fitted.

Right, well i dropped the car off at Tom's on Tuesday and as of this afternoon they have got the front end done, the bushes and bolts were siezed beyond belief :shock:

Tom's had to burn out the bushes and cut through the casing to be able to replace the stock bushes but the upside is i now have adjstable rear camber and toe arms

Fingers crossed i'll be picking the car up on Saturday just hope Tom doesn't get too angry with my little teg :lol:

Dotty, I'm due to go to System-R to have these fitted along with some coilovers.

Hope that's of some help mate.

You having the suspension bushes fitted aswell, just ask as you didn't list them!

My car isn't going to be a good example of cost as its taken 4 times longer than it normally should!

These are the suspension bushes mate. I sent him an email as king for fitting of coilovers, fast road setup and some ES suspension mounts inserts front and rear and that what he replied with. Why? Do the costs not add up to items? Do you think he's got it wrong perhaps?

Yeah as you asked for suspension mount inserts it looks as if you've been quoted the Engine mounts as they are the only insert bushes. The suspension bushes are full replacement bushes and cost a fair amount more than £35 for the lot and fitting will also bit a bit more as it will take a day or so to get them all done on a new'ish car so let Paul know that wires have been crossed!

Thought the price was a little low TBH. I've just sent him an e-mail now asking him to confirm.

 

[Awesam]

It looks like you are having Energy saving mounts fitted.

If you were getting suspension bushes u would have known about it because its a big job!

 

[HASNIC]

Well, picked the car up at 7:30pm tonight, massive thanks to Tom and co for pulling a few late ones this week inc tonight to get it sorted and ready.

I'll put a full review up in a couple of days when i've driven a bit more on it on local roads but initially the difference is phenomenal 8)

Glad you got it back ok .....What geo settings did you go for??

-1.25 camber on the rear and around 0.5 toe out on the rear IIRC. I didn't get a print out as we'll need to redo all of them once the bushes have bedded in and i get the adjustable camber parts for the front as they were well out and with no adjustability for camber on the front so it needs to be sorted!

The toe setting have helped the turn in though, the rear helps tuck the front in but its been a bit to slippy to really try things out today :wink:
