Freestyle suspension parts.....

[Ross_B]

Hi All

Progress is going well on my freestyle I just haven't had a chance to dump my photos but I plan to do it over the Christmas break from work!

I am at the point of buying new suspension parts, in particular the tie bars and bottom arms.

I just wanted to know if the best thing to do is go fully adjustable on everything or fixed or a mix?
e.g 1,5 negative bottom arms with adjustable heavy duty tie bars as I would if I was doing a mini or a different option?

I was going to stay away from rose joints as that's just another thing that I have to change I just wanted the best option to go with the coil over front suspension mod that I will be doing as I have already got those shocks sorted.

as well can I just triple check that I will need 2 sets of tie bars and bottom arms for the front and rear?

Thanks

Ross

everything adjustable is a good move

Sorry it's so long ago now since I had a Freestyle, especially with an A series, but seem to remember that we replaced the bottom arms with ones that looked like these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294018275765 I didn't changed the tie bars as I remember the last time coming back from Wales & the handling being somewhat interesting in the rain. When I got home I found this



I was running a MGF rear subframe & suspension so can't comment on that.

Thanks for the help guys!

I am going to go for the adjustable lower arms and adjustable heavy duty tie bars as they aren't that much more in price than standard

Then hopefully over Christmas I can get the front end fully built up with just the suspension mod to take care of

just be aware though that teh heavy duty ones are great but any impact nd they get punched through into the cockpit

No worries Danny thanks!

I have gone for the heavy duty ones so fingers crossed I don't have any issues
