Hey guys My RS 250 Cup is coming up to 7 years old in July and I'm the 4th owner. I've had lower swivel/ball joints replaced last year as I had a knocking noise etc. As for the rest of the suspension, what would need replacing soon? Shocks? Drop Links? Etc. Also another thing is, I'm getting a scratching noise when I brake at low speeds, it's coming from the front drivers side wheel, what could that be? Thanks in advance
Noise is probably inner pads worn, chassis wise, replace what needs replacing.... Maybe take it for a health check at your local dealer? Sent from my FRD-L09 using Tapatalk
mines coming up for 7 years old 60k and I've just done upper and lower ball joints, drop links, anti rotation links and passenger side wishbone I don't think it needed half of them but wanted to give it a good refresh before I start doing some track days.
upper and lower ball joints were £300, drop links £70, anti rotation links £110, wishbone £135, only done the passenger side one but will replace the drivers one at some point this year. Fitted them all myself so zero labour costs.
I'm getting my gearbox oil changed on Saturday due to gearbox/diff whine. So while the cars in the air I'll ask them to have a look and see if anything needs replacing
I did a full front end refresh on mine last year: Drop links Twist links Inner/outer track rods Upper/lower ball joints Suspension Both wishbones Top mounts Wheel bearings Sourced a lot of parts bar the wishbones online. They are made by TRW so ordered from a German company and saved a fortune. Got the dampers from a lad on here off is 275 trophy that he practically gave me (cheers Matt) and got the wishbones from Renault. All fitted my Mark Black. Car feels mega now
Did you get it all done in one go? What was the rough cost of getting it all done? Just so I have a rough idea. I'm assuming north of £1k including parts and labour?
@jack250 Oh okay that's not so bad. Where did you source all the parts from? Any places you used in particular that you would recommend?

Okay thanks I'll have a look during my lunch break lol. Have you replaced your shocks yet? How long do they normally last?
