I put poly bushes and slightly used stock shocks in the front with H&R sport springs and #2 pads.
99.9% of vibration is gone and I haven't even aligned the car yet.

I can understand your feeling, but I still feel the 18" fill the wheel arches better

Yes. Not cheap but worth every cent IMO. There's a guy in the UK who has converted his 43 for racing at the Ring. Interesting concept and he has worked with KW over the winter for a specific suspension set-up.

I just bought a w203 c55 and it has KW2 v2 coilovers. The car is a go cart, Id definitely want a similar setup on my 43

Alignment came out great though. But I would rather have stock parts any day. My car sounds so old.....

I had a shop change bushings in my control arms when I wasn't feeling too well and I had no idea that there was Kmac bushings installed already in the front. They completely destroyed them when taking them out.
