Bushes, droplinks and all things suspension
Discussion
Just planning the next round of spending on the upgrade list and it's time to sort out the suspension on my Tuscan 2S. It's had a recent full geo and felt great for a while but is starting to feel a little wallowy (is that even a word?!) and just not sure footed on the road.
I'm ordering some Nitrons, but is it worth just getting all the suspension bushes and drop links changed beforehand anyway? In the big scheme of things the cost doesn't seem too bad and I've never been too convinced that a quick prod with a pry-bar will always show you whether the bushes have play in them.
Thinking of the Racing Green droplinks, along with just some OE bushes. Any other alternatives to consider? Or anything else that I should do at the same time?
I'll be looking at where to get the geo redone after fitting and would love a full days work at somewhere like Centre Gravity but is that overkill? Any recommendations for places in the South East/Berkshire for a full detailed geo, and maybe some help with damper settings etc?

All OE bushes and drop links for me, but key is making sure when refitted the suspension is loaded at normal ride height
Nitrons excellent too with corrects springs spacers & bump stops etc, but you mat struggle with getting enough travel on rear of T2S
Cheers Graham, do you mean something specific to the "S" or just on T cars in general? I quite like the way the car rides on the std suspension, just that if i'm changing then i'd like some adjustability and the Nitrons seem to be a safe bet.Nitrons excellent too with corrects springs spacers & bump stops etc, but you mat struggle with getting enough travel on rear of T2S
