Hello all,

My daily driver, ex HWP FGII XR6T needs suspension work basically to replace bushes and Bilstein's to replace the old damper as it is starting to sound like a taxi the wayit knocksin the front end. I had AUIII that I fitted Superpro throughout all mounting points and hated the driving experience. With the FG what would be the main suspension or steering components that should be upgraded to neoprene and what should stay rubber for NVH?

well, usually neoprene style has more NVH, but rubber can be bad, too, depending on the compound of rubber... so it depends which specific products you're looking at rather than those generalities...

I took my car to Heasmans in Sydney and after discussions with Peter I was steered towards to new rubber bushes. Had the don’t upper control arms and top mounts replaced. Threw some new Bilsteins at all corners and the car has been transformed.
