supradibbs Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I recently had Milko supra overhaul my subframes, i had a full R2 bush kit,whiteline sway bars,new diff mounts and new drop links all round. I drove the car today to get the Geo setup this was just done at ATS so pretty basic setup will be having it done by the place recommend on here very soon. Bear in mind the whole rear off my car is stripped out no seats etc. I found bad points More road noise Small amounts off vibration through the throttle only every once in a while. Firmer/harsher ride Good points The car feels more solid corners hard positive etc No wheel hope Traction feels much improved No floating feeling when changing up through the gears at high power Used to praise my self for every bump in the road even though this setup is firmer it seems too obsorb this much better. So all in all am very happy i plan to dynomatt the whole boat area and board it out very soon so that should improve the road/exhaust sound no end Highly recommend this to everyone feels like a new car again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoSupra Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I was going to get a polybush kit for mine when rebuilding. Ive decided to go for new OEM wishbones, and TRD ARB with OEM Links. My car feels quite solid and stable at 100k, comparing to al lot of similar millage'd car's i've driven, don't want it to be too harsh!!! Anyway, back on subject, good info for some people who's thinking of changing bushes etc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels in Motion are definitely worth a trip. I bumped into JamieP when I was there yesterday, and got to see his new wheels too. My car feels like a new car too. Totally worth the relatively small fee. Glad you're happy with your new bushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to get a quick setup down as it felt unsafe, found out after bot front wheels were face slightly to the left lol:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) I had to get a quick setup down as it felt unsafe, found out after bot front wheels were face slightly to the left lol:d I'd had new suspension put on recently, and when they put it on the machine my wheels were all over the place, especially the off-side rear (it was pointing left, and the camber was really off too). The car already had a vague feeling of understeer on roundabouts etc, but once you get it done properly you'll be amazed at the difference.

JamieP Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Glad she is driving better Wayne. Dynamat is great stuff, just have my doors an rear quarters covered and its going back next week for the boot install, car is defiantly quieter and the doors have a proper thud to them now.

AndrewOW Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Nice meeting you and very clean supe you have there. Thank you. Good to meet you too. Those wheels are going to look ace. That Dynamat sounds intriguing. I think I'll have a search on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a shame there's nothing like it down my way in the Sussex area. Or maybe there is, but its a well kept secret! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
