Just picked up a mk1 vrs and it's near purfect apert from front lower wishbone bushes (rear Bush). The car is a daily driver and completely unmodified, but was just wondering what is the best bush to replace it with as oe are a bit too soft. 

Cheers. 

I bought 2 new arms (std pressed steel ones) cut out the existing rubber bushes and replaced them with super-pro ones

 

https://www.superproeurope.com/products.cfm?vehicleid=7720

 

Part numbers are :-  SPF 1915K  Front control arm 

                                     SPF 2082K  Control arm rear. This is the one you intend to replace, also always buy new Skoda nuts and bolts when doing this work.

 

I did use Powerflex when replacing the dog bone bushing (to stop front wheel skip), but went over to Super Pro ones as the Powerflex ones transmitted to much

 

engine vibration into the cabin (sort of a low droning). The Super-Pro ones have a slightly lower  Shore A Hardness  but are still harder than std.

 

This worked for me but its really up to the individual as to what you are trying to achieve, ive heard of competition bushes being fitted but the made the Vrs undrivable.

 

Good Luck  

That sounds good to be honest. So super pro are better than powerflex for harshness I never new that I've used powerflex in the past on previous cars and they can be quite hard. Might look I to super pro cheers. 

am I right in saying that you can use the solid rubber Bush from the audi TT as an upgrade from standard vrs ones. 

Yes you are corrrect,

This has been done in past years by other vrs owners. There is a lot of good stuff on here for mods, you just have to dig deep to find it.

If your going to improve handling / performance / quality, there are a number of Audi TT parts that can be added :-

 

Heat shield cover ( clips together over coil pack harness and prevents coil pack wiring insulation from breaking down from top end engine heat).

 

TT drivers side inner plastic wheel arch (get hold of one and cut out the slotted panel carefully leaving a 1 inch border around it)

Cut out a rectangular hole behind inner wheel arch inline with existing intercooler carefully so that slotted panel sits over the aperture and glue vent panel in place using Tiger Seal, leave overnight

to set. I braced mine using bits of wood wedged against the tyre. This will improve  air circulating through the intercooler, or you can fit a front cooler of course , a lot more expensive and more work

with piping etc.

 

TT front upper / lower strut bracing bars. The top one needs holes drilling in the top mount metal work (If you treat hole edges with anti rust and paint before fitting no problem) .

The lower one uses existing holes in front sub frame, you just have to buy the " TT riv nuts", they expand and hold themselves in place in the holes.

 

Finally Anti roll bars

If your using a Std suspension set up then a Whiteline 21mm rear one will give instant improvement and reduce body roll .

The Ulitmate set up :-

Front......Golf  R32 23mm dia   /  Rear...... Neuspeed 28mm

 

Look for posts by Bowders1 and Steevie Wonder, they have done loads more and are the leaders in mods.

 

 

 

Wow cheers for the information I will look into the roll bars as sounds good as reali wanna keep standard right height. Had enough of lowered cars to be honest especially where I live. Thinking of just getting the best oem parts where possible as been told can use LCR top mount bushes too,and fabia vrs rear axle bushes so will probably be best friends with TPS soon lol.
