| Upgrading suspension parts - Suggestions? I will be getting my nearside front sorted (Noisy over bumps and under load) this Tuesday under warranty and have saved up to upgrade the suspension. I have on my list Koni FSDs, Eibach lowering springs and (is it) Cupra bushes {I have already got a Jabba ARB} but are there any other suggests - I want to maintain/improve the ride quality and reduce body roll. Many thanks.

| Re: Upgrading suspension parts - Suggestions? Koni FSd eibach and jabba, this is basically how the fabia vrs should have felt like from the factory, tight steering on roundabouts, speed bumps comfy pot holes all good, even biggish ones solid when in the corner, understeer dramitically reduced, still looks standard (the car will not be slammed) basically a comfy hard as nails daily racer. buy it, i am only four days in and i s9unked over a grand sorting but worth every penny

| Re: Upgrading suspension parts - Suggestions? About what I thought... ![]() I think we are agreed that the top anti-roll bars do very little but wouldn't beefier front (lower) anti-roll bars help? Or, I've heard, they compromise the ride? Are there any recommendations?

| Re: Upgrading suspension parts - Suggestions? Don't know if it is called that... I mean the one which connects between the front hub and suspension something like this... The ones they always break on WRC cars! I believe they can compromise the ride if they are to thick
