So, ive had a search, but not really had a definitive answer...

I have a Mk2 Nova, with an E16SE GSi engine fitted.

It has, Spax shocks and springs 40mm, GSi front ARB, Cav GSi wheels with 195/45/15 Kumho's and will fit my poly lower arm and tie bar bushes tomorrow hopefully...

I aim to fit a rear ARB, and some Toyo T1-R's but what else can i do to really make it handle?

Not keen on stripping it....

I personally prefer it...

How hard a job is rear beam poly bushes?

eccentric top mounts. Pair of. Run a little positive camber/ castor.

Hard as removing the rear beam.

And removing the front arb will inprove the handling, as under hard cornering on lowerd suspension it would tend to lift the inner wheel.

rear beam bushes are that bad to do, toyos sound a good idea!
