Is this a Good set up and deal?

[redraptor_141]

Heya guys and girls,

im thinking of buying an entirely new handling set up over the coming months then fitting it all at once in the new year. for £1145 quid i get:

EBC Ultimax Disks front and Rear
EBC Green stuff Pads to go with them
Goodritch Braided hoses
B4 Bilstien shocks 4 of them
Eibach Springs (the 30mm drop ones)
Front Strut brace
4 Brand new 235/45/18 Toyo Proxes T1-R

Plus a Garage will fit it all for me for 100 quid and a case of beer lol (local garage and i trust them as there not cowboys)

first question is this a good set up and second does the price sem okay? obviously this is going to be bought over a few month lol and im sure if i call the places i can get a discount.

Ta Guys

sounds good to me - what size are the disks are they the same as the std ones?
I would think about bigger disks if they are.

the shocks - how many miles has the std ones done - if not a lot - they will be fine for the small drop you're plannig to do. I have read that you only need to change them if you are dropping around 60mm.

remember that you only have a 2.0 diesel, without being rude. do you need all this?

I would remap if it was me, you need more power.

what wheels have you got - what about changing them?

strut brace - you read my mind - lol

tyres - very good choice imo.

lol ive just got new wheels there the BK999 VXR replicas. but now the car looks really high as its standard suspention so a little drop would make it look alot better. and the brakes are absolute garbage as standard and the rears will need changing soon so i figured no point replacing somthing rubbish with the same article lol.

and as for tuning the engine itll end up being about £400-500 quid for 20bhp AND THEN that 20 bhp extra can blow the fuel pump up lol so i figured handling would be a safer option.....(and yeh i know its only a 2.0 DTi but i didnt reilise they were rubbish untill after i drove a 1.9 150 lol)


seems you say that about the shocks then mabye i could just get the springs untill the shocks wear out then change them then? and the strutbrace just looks cool but i could live with out it if there more for higher powerd cars lol.

and tyres well there midlle of the road and i havent heard many bad reviews about them for the price range they fall in

same wheels as mine and I'm going to drop 35mm as well - so I know what you mean.

the tyres aren't middle of the road - they are really good tyres and I got loads of life out of the on my 2.2dti (the car I had before the one I got).

I would get just springs....imo.. save your cash.

what about a rear spoiler.....thats what I'm getting.

I want:

strut brace
-35mm springs
rear spoiler.
