anti roll bars and sway bars
« on: 20 October 2014, 21:53 »
im thinking of installing some bars to stabilize. whats peoples opinions on having a full set of front/rear strut bars and sway bars or would t be better to just go for one or the other?

If read white line's review found best handling by fitting just rear, I run h&r front/rear spot on but need good suspension too I run h&r  coilovers too with under car front strut.

cheers pal yeah just seen youtube vid of whitelines may just give that a try first n see how she goes, can always add more ;) ive only just bought the car and its on jom's but thinking of changing them too. had an issue the other day where front  left was out by 3mm and back right out by three. i sorted the front but the back right wont go anymore anfd they are both sat at the bottom so no more adjustment room......shocks gone maybe?

I would try fitting a rear first see how get on with that. Make a world of difference to the handling with only a rear on although depending on size will become a bit tail happy which is good long as aware :)

Sound will give that a whirl I'm sure I will find what I find comfortable and fun to drive
