Your thoughts please
H DUBS:
Hi all,
I have the modding itch again and want to improve the ride, so these are my thoughts:
1stly, I'm not a track person so the set up i'm thinking of is only for spirited road drives, and to take away the unwanted body roll when cornering.
1) H&R Springs
2) Whiteline anti-lift kit
3) 19"x 8.5" alloys (not yet decided on which ones)
4) H&R rear ARB
Will this do the trick or do I need anything else???? ie. front ARB as well??
For those in the know, would 19" be OK with this set up???
Your thoughts and advice are greatly appreciated. :happy2:
MAT ED30:
i would not bother with any of the above and just get some kw v3 coilover and have them set up pure and simple :smiley: but if not all the above would be good but not sure on 19s
Top Cat:
All sounds spot on to me. The 19s will give a few more bumps and humps through your arse but if you get good quality tyres then you wont notice much difference. :happy2:
H DUBS:
Matt: Your suggestion is spot on mate, but alot more cost involved.
TC: Thanks mate, so I won't need the front ARB in your opinion?
:happy2:

It wouldn't hurt :smiley: but from what i have read the rear is the main one on front wheel drive cars. And the front one is a bit more complicated to fit.
The H&R stuff is usually top quality.
+ it all depends on how bad you have been bitten by the bug, lots of people buy the springs first then later end up buying the coils like Mat suggests. Egged on by us lot. :signLOL:
My opinion is if you just like occasional spirited drives and are willing to avoid this place then your list should give you a noticeable improvement over stock ride + a great stance. :happy2:
