[QUOTE="Forza, post: 175110, member: 1112"] My car needed a service, first one in the 2 years I own it :oops: . I figured I could simultaneously upgrade some parts. The brakes are now Brembo HC with Ferodo DS2500 pads all around and Goodridge stainless steel brake lines. Also had the gearbox oil changed to fully synthetic. These were the upgrades I wanted beforehand, then came the call from the dealer ... topmount bearings are shot. Which meant the whole shock had to come apart, this meant it wouldn't be a bad time to fit some H&R lowering springs. The same day I picked up my car I also bought some second hand rims and tires, but both are virtually new: [url=https://minus.com/i/bduhmpP5YqAHi][img]https://i.minus.com/jbduhmpP5YqAHi.jpg[/img][/url] Been a very expensive week :? . But it handles even better now, and a weird feeling I had when turning is gone, so I guess the topmount bearings have been bad since I bought the car. All is well now fortunately and I'm very satisfied with the result :) . One more upgrade would be some camberbolts and then it's somewhat more Nurbrugring ready :) . [/QUOTE]
