1993 VR6 2.9 Brakes and Suspension

Recommended Posts

So after driving my freshly purchased Rado for a few weeks and getting it up on a lift a few times to poke around, I've come to some conclusions:

 

1. The coilovers it's currently sitting on need to go. They are too soft for how I want to drive the car. I was thinking http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/products.php?id=250439&item=1120-8721

Does anyone have any comments regarding this setup, or recommendations for another setup around the same price?

 

2. Although the brakes still do their job, the amount of corrosion on the calipers and rotors makes me nervous. I have been looking around online and can't find a decent deal for calipers. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated. I don't really want to upgrade to a larger size, I'm thinking a fresh setup all around with braided lines will suffice.

 

3. The top mounts need to be replaced when I swap out the suspension. Should I go through a dealership/local parts store, or is there a reliable place online to order from? I don't trust ordering parts from eBay.

 

 

Again, I'm just getting into this car, so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I used vwspares.co.uk when I replaced my suspension bits. Website is straightforward and ordering over the phone for unlisted parts a doddle.

Don't take this the wrong way mate but would it not be easier ringing AVS after all the number is there :p

As clumpy says, give em a ring :) But yes, the ones listed for the VR6 are indeed the ones you want for the VR6! :)

That's what I thought Jim but it's alway's worth giving the seller a ring just to make sure :thumbleft:
