                    I would also add transmission mounts and a stiffer snub mount to that list. I know they aren't directly related to the suspension, but it definitely firms up the drivetrain which is nice, too!

                      Load of rubbish that. I've never heard a difference neither has S2Ant.

                          On the front, yes unless your prepared to replace your mounts every 6 months. Thats the main reason i bought them to be honest.

                              Hell yes on the way home i was throwing the car around roundabouts and it felt great.



                              QRS are selling them on ebay for £90 + or you can order them from Demon Tweeks ( i think everybody knows my views on this! i wouldn't recommend them)
