    Suspension upgrades

    Planing on an overhaul of the suspension on the avant.

    Current setup:

    H&R greens
    Rs2 shocks

    She feels good apart from the worn top mounts.

    Planed additions:

    Cast wishbones with powerflex bushes (cheers spink )
    New ball joints
    New tie rod ends
    Rs2 droplinks
    Promounts
    Uprated engine mounts
    ALU subframe mounts
    Nuspeed rear anti role bar
    Possible front anti role bar (will do this at a later date)

    Followed by 4 wheel alignment

    Is there anything I have missed or would be worth doing before the alignment process ?

    I may upgrade shocks at a later date but I can do this without altering the settings.

    All suggestions welcome

    cheers

              Was considering rear wishbone bushes but its expensive when you add all of them up
              This is something I will do at a later date when there worn.
              Should also be able to change these without altering the alignment (much)

              Can anybody comment on the 034 rear diff mount ?

              Aiming for 400hp when I finally get to the engine stage, will this make an uprated rear diff mount necessary ?
