Suspension is feeling sloppy and loose, (200,000kms) I need to upgrade suspension, I will be going for a set of pedders coilovers...and its time for new bushes all around the car.

I know super pro make bushes for the 380 but the range is very limited...


1. Anyone know where to get better suspension bushes all around? or am i best sticking with oem?

2. Sway bars?

3. Rear control arms?

4. Front and rear strut bars? (this is because of the coilovers having a much stiffer spring this will make the body flex more in to the car, so i want stronger braces..

5. BRAKES BRAKE BRAKES, anyone here used qfm ar1m pads on the stock calipers?


thank you

Bushes OEM, think about it, serious track cars use Rubber Bushes, oem use rubber as well, there are good reasons for this

Car should already have front strut bar on it

I have use A1RM and while ok on the track, rubbish on the road and chew rotors and are as dusty as you can imagine.

Coil overs, I will not go here and as for Pedders, I think even less of Pedders than I do Coil Overs. IF you really must go for coil overs then contact Al for some KSport, seem to be the best out of a bad bunch when it comes to cheap Taiwanese stuff

Re the rear sway bar, until a few months ago I had a Selby heavy duty one, 26 mm diameter, apparently there isn't much else available for a track focussed 380 but they don't make them any more. Cost me over $300 a few years ago. I gave it away to Michael (maggie3.5), he may still have it and may be willing to sell it to you. But it's a big heavy mofo so the postage would be killer.

Just put the Koni kit as per the TMR380 spec if you want to be true to your signature

(to me there are 3 ways of fixing and modifying a car....1. There is the RIGHT way)

Will cost you more than the Ksport, but the Ksport coilover kit is rubbish in comparison.

And for the first time in a long time I have to agree with John 100% here, the Koni kits are available and about the same price as the K-Sport but FAR superior
