Having stage 1'd my 2.3 CSE I intend to replace bushes, discs, pads, springs, dampers etc. on an as required basis. 112000 miles at present.(Or as cash becomes available
)
I "make progress" but like to think that it is sensible and safe, I rarely indulge in traffic light grands prix, and often have passengers who prefer a sedate pace. My drive to work is on real world roads (country lanes, A & B roads and Motorway) not billiard table smooth surfaces.
The point of this rambling post is to ask what are sensible ( and cost effective) mods - preserving comfort, ride quality, quietness etc.
For instance - how far can you go with poly bushes without intrusive NVH?
What pads work at slow to moderate speeds with cold disks?
Should I stay standard and go for braided hoses? Springs and dampers - do I realy need adjustable Koni's?
I have probably opened a can of worms here - but what is the consensus.
cheers
