£300-£600: What could I spend this on?

[bristolsparks]

Hi guys

Im having my 60K service at the end of the month and will be left with a few quid

As you can see by my siggy, i have done a few of the cheaper mods but now looking for something to do with handling or power

Not looking for a remap yet as want to do a little to the handling, power or hoses first

Maybe looking at milltek non res, ths engine mounts or something similiar to that

Your thoughts and advice will be more than helpful to what to get done

cheers guys in advance

id look at ARB's and a remap as then you can do power and handling.

cheers

ARB's and uprate the dog bone mount. Uprate the TIP. Also consider uprating the brakes if you def dont want to go down the map route

ARBs and suspension kit I'd say.

if your wanting to improve handling, dito

depends on your budget, £300 i'd get ARB's and bushes, £600 you could just about squeeze in a good spring damper set up too. good times

For £600 you'll get an uprated front ARB, Rear ARB, upper and lower S3 strutt braces plus 4 wheel alignment to suit.

 

[bristolsparks]

thanks for all the advice, i think i might get the front and bakc arb's and s3 strutts

anyone know of any cheap places to get this from?

 

[Willie]

The Audi bits just from Audi. The upper strutt brace is about £60 and the lower is about £25 all including VAT.
I think there is a group buy on the go for the rear ARB.
White line have been used buy guys on here and are very popular with the Scooby guys

 

[james walker]

if youve a lc not r, dont bother with the front arb tbh.

rear arb £150
tt wishbone bushes £20
s3 lower brace £30
s3 upper brace £60

£340 left for weitec shocks and springs...

handling really well then.

 

[Pabs]

give the spare money to me, to fund my car purchase.
Thanks in advance.

 

[bristolsparks]

as said matey, i wouldnt spend the cash on the front arb, i havent on mine, just the rear and mine handles like a dream.... with a few little extras added of course.

 

[DamianPM]

The front is mainly changed to over come the problem of the standard ARB rubbing on the driveshaft when you lower below 45-50mm.

Damian @ DPM

 

[james walker]

yup.... lcr front arb is a worthwhile mod, not so much so on the lc.... change the arb bushes to polyflex instead... £12 as apposed to £150

 

[bristolsparks]

thanks guys, i think ill get s3 upper and lower, ths engine mounts and rear arb(22mm??) plus some bushes for the front?

 

[james walker]

leave the front arb bushes until they are perished mate, spend the cash on tt rear front wishbone bushes, for pennies they are a great upgrade over stock.

22mm whiteline is a good arb, i have this one on stiffest setting.

that little lot should still allow you to spunk some cash on a decent spring and shock combo.. i.e weitec

 

[bristolsparks]

i have better start saving and selling some bathrooms to fund theses upgrades.

thanks for your help James, will look into prices later tonight
