Default Has anyone uprated their suspension bushes?

I'm looking to replace my suspension bushes and I wanted to know if any one has already done this if so what have you gone for?
I know Spoon do a set but are there anymore out there to choose from?

Also I know this has been mentioned before but what the hell is the banging sound from the firstly rear but now front wheels(sounds like the wheel is gonna fall off) mainly when rolling back or forward

If anyone knows it would be a great help

Does the S2000 use a special fit bush for the suspension? You might well find that you don't have to use bushes specially made for the car, it's not a particularly complicated part, after all. If not, I would speak to someone at Raceparts or any motorsport supplier - you'll get a high quality product and it's probably going to be a fair bit cheaper than a Mugen item.

Bit more complicated than ordering a specifically made part though....

Andy,

than banging sound usually occurs when the pads have stuck to the disc when they handbrake has been applied, when its released sometimes they stay stuck to the disc and then you get the bang when the movement backwards cuasing them to free. If its on the rear and when youve been parked up for a while its probably just this and nothing to be worried about, if its on the fronts then its something else.

Hope this helps

Jason

Andy, it's probably related to your new calipers. (pics?)

What spec are the calipers? Depending what you've got there are a few possible causes.
