I've given up on the poly top mounts. I'm going to use abearing set up instead this is what most track cars are using now. It will be more expensive but worth it.
I would go the poly option but I can not see enough selling to make it viable.
Unfortunatly the 300 poly bushes are moving very slow. I sell a 100 times more for the amazon and pv.

I think people might just be waiting for the front shocks to be out of R&D. before they upgrede Dai. I will definatley have all the poly bushes you do for the late GLT, rear lowering blocks and the shocks!

The only thing im concerned about is, if I lower the front the tyres might rub against the wings.


Cheers,

Ok what you will need to do is measure the distance between the centre of the hub to the top of the wheel arch, I will also need to know the gap between the top of the tyre and the top of the inner arch(clearance) From that info I can work out sring lengths and rates.

Hi Dai, just thought i should post a question on this thread about the lowering blocks in 2 inch sizes, i had a discussion with Ali a little while ago about the blocks in 2 inch sizes and he said that there might be a problem with something stopping the car from going any lower than 1 inch blocks unless you remove something, if its a easy problem to get around or anything i will most likely buy a set when i buy the all round set spax adjustables :) , just another quick question, would you be able to deliver and accept paypal by chance?

cheers

Nate

I made 40mm lowering blocks for mine and the anti tramp bar on the back dtops the car from being this low unless you took the bar out and shortened it, it may become a problem!!

I've not fitted the 2" blocks as Vicky's car carry's too much weight to drop that far. The torque are could be shortened if you find its a problem.
Another job for me to look at :?

I'm glad you feel there was a big improvment. I hope you ppl go for them to help fund further development of more bushes.
