Hey guys,

I am about the take the plunge and spend some more dollars on my suspension for my Aristo VC300 / GS Turbo.

- Tein Flex with EDFC
- Cusco LSD
- TRD anti-roll bars

Other stuff - ARS cancellor (TOMS), VSC off switch.

I was going to go for the Tein RA, but everywhere I read the ride is really harsh, they rust as they're steel and they need re-built. I think the Flex is better for me - I only go to race track 4-5 days per year.

I ask should I do my polyurethane bushes at the same time? Is it going to save me labour costs? What about lower-control arm bushings?

yeahi think the flex is a good balance. the RA is really for track, but if you drive it on the street, you suffer

for the bushings, do they start to wear out already? how about the steering, is it a bit loose? if so maybe you should do it. with poly, it's going to be a lot tigher and handling should be better

Steering is good under speed, although it could be a bit tighter. There is 54,000 KM on the car, and the bushes haven't been changed.

i guess you can easily check if the bushings are warn. my car has 60k miles and they are worn out a bit already. you can change the whole lower control arm, but that's still rubber bushing and it's not that good imho. if you can get poly bushings that's the best

oh and yes, it's going to be VERY labor intensive to do the bushings
