Neuspeed
Whiteline
Eibach

to name a few

i'm running the Whiteline Adjustable rear on mine - improves things no end  :smiley:

don't forget that ideally you don't want a thicker roll bar at the front than what you have without fitting one at the rear otherwise you'll INCREASE the understeer


This is my feeling too.  Although most kits you buy as a set, seem to come with a thicker front ARB than the rear!! :huh:

thats what i can never work out  :undecided:  i've spoken to Julian @ Balance Motorsport (very helpful bloke) and he recommended NOT to upgrade my standard front arb and just fit the rear

I'm going to put those upper & lower S3 braces I got from Topher, on, & then source a 25mm rear ARB.

28mm might be a tad too harsh??
