finally got to drive the car yesterday, although all the suspension is fitting against each other as i carnt get it set up until tuesday, i took it round the block

now every bump i can hear and feel every crack in the road lol

just wondering if this is normal due to haveing no bushes at the front now?

No not really as the bumps and cracks should still be absorbed by the suspension damper and springs unless you have changed those too.

Sorry Tony , But i dont agree , Comp strut kit isnt good for road use ( they were never intended for road use ) without the ARB and TCA bushes it will be ar rough as hell ,

I had the kit fitted to one of my escosses and took it off after 2 days

martins got a car with this set up on a ramp, front mounted arb etc so the owner might be able to tell you how it drives

it will be harsh thats for sure, i've got it on mine but, to be honest, i can live with it

weather someone else can or not is the question

ive run comp strut kits on loads of road cars and had no problems unless the rest of the system is either crap or not setup properly - and more so - incorrectly fitted in the 1st place

its all fitted correctly, but i carnt get it set up until tuesday anyhow so the car is staying in the garage until then

im running avo coilovers aswell, no front roll bar now

so will see what its like when its set up, there is no bushes either now bar the strut tops lol

you need the arb as otherwise it needs to be run too stiff to be practial for road use mate

pig

mine is very harsh on my mk2 escort with these,but it is so much better imo once set up correctly

think i found why its was crashing and banging

my front tyre was flat and only had 12psi in it

problem is the tyres dont look flat lol

so put some air in it and its so much better, yes ttheres still a couple of knocks when i hit a pot hole or something but other than that i think i can live with it

before it goes for set up im raising the ride height as its just far to low, for some reason while its been off the road its got lower

so this is being done asap, and hopefully it will all be ok again
