Gang!

Just want to double check ive got everything I need to sort the suspension on our 93 Italian Job. For info its got 13x7's and the suspension is completely standard. Its low mileage but has obviously been stood on its cones for years. Balljoints and track rods are sound. I am undecided as to whether to replace the cones or go the minitastic spring route so have left that out.

Minisport full poly bush kit + poly rebound buffer

Minispares kit of Gaz Lowered Dampers with Genuine Hi Lo's MSSK3001
Minispares Camber kit (Adjustable lower arms and tie bars MSSK3008

KAD Adjustable rear camber brakets

Will all be set up professionally - probably at Slark

Questions...

Are there any other pins bolts mounts etc worth changing seeing as its all coming apart?
With the 13" wheels im limited on lowering so do I actually need lowered shocks?
Is it worth doing the subframe mounts with poly or solid for 'hard road' use?

Sorry if this is covering old ground for a few of you but I cant find the exact answers im looking for.

I doubt you'd need lowered shocks, unless you're really dumping it?

Thats exactly what I was thinking.

Im pretty limited on space with the 13" wheels anyway.

Anyone know if you can get a poly bush kit in Red?
