Ok so I've got a spax psx kit ready to go on my car along with solid rear beam mounts, my question is what major things should I also replace while doing it? I'm thinking new top mounts for one? I haven't got massive amounts of cash to spend as I no I need to get the brakes sorted for the mot in a few weeks. Any ideas?
Thanks all

New topmounts, New bushes, New pinch bolts are an idea too.

Dont get it from pug they will ra*e you , better off on ebay or the local motor factors,
But yeah front wish bone bushes and 'P' bushes will make a big difference, uprated versions are also avalible to suite different budgets.
wish bone ball joints may also need doing ( be aware there are 2 sizes 16 & 18mm) yours will most likly be 18mm
Top mounts, you can get STD one or splash a little extra and get camber adjustable ones from spoox motor sport for £135, Better bearings also,
lower Strut brace will also make a good difference to the handling, OMP ones are fairly cheap

Have a chat with Rippthrough about his custom lower braces. They've got two tubes instead of the one you find on OMP ones.
