You say above you're gonna use stock ones. If you can take a little extra harshness (not much) you could switch to urethane. > stock strut bearings The VR6 ones will last longer. > ball joints > tie rods Unless they need to be replaced, don't bother. > complete front a-arm bushings Unless they need to be replaced or you're going to upgrade them to something stiffer, I wouldn't bother. seeing as you're gonna go with the cup kit I would keep those stock. > both rear trail arm bushings > Same goes for those. I have delrin bushings that I'm about to put in, and they're as hard as metal... not forgiving at all. :) This will help some of the tail-end waggle that you'll get, but you probably won't notice that until you have linear-rate race springs. > LMK what everyone thinks and if I forgot anything. > If you don't mind a little uneven tire wear, (it's not bad at all) I would recommend getting crash bolts and having your car dialed in for 2 degrees of negative camber. It transformed my car. Tons more grip in the front, but it still understeers a bit. _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
