OK, thus far the car has had brand new rear shocks and springs at the back. It has also had new front drop links. I am going down the OEM route.
However, the steering is sometimes vague which has been put down to knackered front wishbone bushes. So thinking about getting it booked in with Awesome GTI again to have standard parts put in. But also thought about getting new front springs (one has already snapped on me) and dampers (possible leak on one side).
I've also noticed since the rear springs/shocks have been fitted, there is a very tiny knock when I brake and come to a full stop, almost like a top mount noise.
Is it really worth me going through, replacing every bush on the suspension and front top mounts? Just looking at the costs, and having a very frank convo with a colleague who use to be in the trade, he thinks I am chasing problems... which is a very fair point. I am the world's worst customer (Dean @ Awesome, beware )
Views, thoughts, etc?
