The old trusty Tuscan with a mighty 50000+ miles on the clock ..spent some time today under the watch full eye of my local MOT station.
It passed ..one or two marks on the advice sheet ..blah blah etc
Partly worn drop link was one.
Question here is do I go with the old crap Tiv stuff or go up market to those SHeath thingies.
Anyone here fitted them Plus is the extra cost worth while?
Ta in advance

Im tempted to stick some on mine now..... after the sucess of the nitrons I think I have got the upgrade bug.. been looking at bigger brake kits too!
As yours is a red rose with the bigger discs anyway I would swap the pads if they are still the standard compound. DS2500s are much better.Basil Brush said:

just finished bedding them in!I'll have to get out and check the disc sizes, the only evidence I have that it's a genuine factory spec red-rose is kind of annecdotal, James Ager{sp} report says its a red rose and the TVR power rebuild was a "red rose" spec rebuild.

Alex can you describe the difference they make, or is it one of those 'it just feels better' moments. Are they more progressive in corners or just more controlled?
Its hard to describe, i would say less delay between turn in on the corner and the suspension reacting to the body roll which now feels to be less. The wheels seem to be more planted on the road over rough b roads. Hard to say but im sure if i put the old stuff back on now having been on the new drop links a month it would feel very different. Having only ever driven my Tuscan, never another Tiv then its hard to say what others are like, but I would be interested.
Thanks for all the replies chaps.
I've ordered a TIV special from my local indy which I will fit myself
I really can't be arsed with all this up grade stuff TBH the car has served me well over the last
2 years or so
Still goes like stink and handles OK with me behind the wheel
Saying that I will also need before to long a set of shocks on the rear end.
I will go for anyone who I can do a deal with Avo's etc then fit them..Got a mate who can set up the
four corner's etc.. job done.
Now if if I was a track day super star I would have to think again..
But I'm not unfortunately
