    Rusty's offset topmounts and subframe bushes will get you about 4.0 - 4.5

    For rally use I would bin the pressed wishbone and use forged arms at the bare minimum. Pressed ones are known to snap near the bush

        I am sure the works tubular wishbones are heavier too. Audisport thought it was a good idea to significantly strengthen them, and add more mass with trailing arms. Are they worth the saving, for such a safety critical item? Just my 2c

            If you want some top mounts, then I have a set that I was going to test but rallying would be the ULTIMATE test :mischeif: If they hold up to that, then us road and trackday kids will be fine. I'd have to work out a price though, as the pair have cost me about £400 so far

            The offset subframe mounts need to be tested too, although many have run these in the past without issue. Again, rallying would be a great test.
