Been shopping!

[Russell Mc]

Full polybush kit


Leven droplinks and Willow suspension bush heatshields


And my favourite
Brand new Nitrons


Its my little project over the next month to take all the suspension off, have it all blasted and powder coated then stick it all back together for a complete suspension refresh. Will be replacing balljoints and track rod ends too most likely.

I'll be posting pictures of the progress in another thread hopefully starting Sunday. Wish me luck!

I was thinking about giving my Griff 500 a birthday and refreshing the original suspension system, I had a geometry check and adjust last autum and the car feels very good and is neutral with no real niggles.

I would be interested to hear if the car is really "transformed" as some people claim or if a well adjusted original setup is more than enough for road driving.

Keep us posted on the results and how you rate the upgrade.

Ooh ilike those drop links what make are those ?

[rigga]

As above ..... both of them

[Russell Mc]

They are from http://www.leventechnology.co.uk/index.htm
It does say above them

[rigga]

I had a look at the site, but couldn't see them listed .....

[Russell Mc]

Yeah I said that to them when I phoned up about them. They need to update the site. Give them a call they are made up ready to go. Best sit down when you pay though...

As long as they last the life of the car then the price is ok I suppose

Leven will be at the Growl so suggest if you want to pick them up ask them to bring another set.

The money is no doubt in the rosejoints. There's rosejoints and there's rosejoints.

Only noticed this post on Friday and having seen the Leven drop links at the weekend I can assure you they aren't day light robbery.

Sure you can buy the bits and make your own but you're not comparing like for like so it's a pointless comparison.

Fortunately Leven now do them for the later cars - cerb/tam/tuscan/etc ( http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/parts-and-p... )so I know what I'll be having fitted when mine goes in.

Oh, and no silicon required

(I've no connection to Leven)
