so im going to assume that if you do like to 'have a drive' thicker is better = less body roll

yes but you need to make sure its balanced

as i said i'm yet to try the hardest setting on my whiteline so may well find it upsets the balance

i think u prob will upset the balance as ur front arb is standard ..... but u wont  notice it much in normal driving but once u start pushing it then u will really notice it,u will be the front end rahter soft ...

hence why i'm waiting for better weather before testing it out  :smiley:  really didn't fancy the back end of the car trying to steer the front over the winter!

well from what im hearing then the 25mm rear should still reduce the body roll, im not slinging it into corners like a tool so i would of thought for my needs it would be suitable

yep the Eibach kit should be spot on for what you want

as with all things suspension whats suitable for one person can easily be completely wrong for someone else

we all have our preferences  :smiley:
