Default Just bought an ALK

As above just bought one and will be getting it fitted next week.

Is there anything else you guys would recommend changing/upgrading whilst they fitting it?

I have a 97 Type R.

Cheers

Ball joints, drop links, track rod ends, steering rack ends.

Pointless uprating one bush per side when the rest of the moving joins will be soggy as hell IMHO

97 car will be well overdue all them parts anyway IMO
I replaced mine around 3 years ago on mine and the difference was huge........
Even though they were all good to look at with no real "play" in them when tested

David at Api did me the essential bushes, and made a lot of difference, but you will notice the car is a little noisier as a result, and its a nightmare job getting the old ones out etc- fitting cost me a fortune after I failed to move some of the bolts!

Dont forget to get a full alignment done after fitting or you wont get the full benefit of the mods and you might get some uneven tyre wear.
