Upgraded anti roll bars or coilovers?
« on: 13 April 2012, 22:23 »
Looking at either front and rear anti roll bars probaly Eibach or get some coilovers. What's best to stary with for handling on my anniversary?

rear ARB
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

I put some shocks and springs on mine and f**king hell, was the best thing ever. Haven't invested in any ARB as yet, but when I do the rear will be the first one I get!

No half measure just get it all to be on the safe side, you won't be disappointed, coilovers and antiroll bars are a good start.
I done all of the handling mods minus lsd and it handles nicely.
