    hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    i dont know...

    thing is, they're so cheap!

    but new clutch is here and going in soon, so NVH is going to be down the shtter.

    and 14 inch wheels, no matter how cheap, will just tempt me to put some a048's on them. im hopeless.

    Get that polyureathane torque arm bush swapped back to stock and also put the stock lower control arm rear bushes changed back to stock from polyureathane - I've found both (well, solid rubber lower control arm rear bushes in my case) make the PoD unpleasant below 1300rpm and VERY unpleasant below 1000rpm.

    I have a solution in the works that will allow these to be easily stiffened when required.

    Fit some reasonable 175/70R14 tyres to the rims and then fit A048Rs to the 15's
