I'm in the process of switching to coilovers at the moment, but I think the spring rate will be too high.
Brayden,
Do you have a photo of your rear swaybar setup. I,m happy to get one custom made if I cant find a substitute, Did you notice a big diference from stock handling?
Thanks

I'd love a rear sway bar on my boy.
How does mine handle? Good on straight flat road lol. Has too much body roll & too much bounce, but that can be fixed by new shocks & springs down the track. For now, it handles good enough for how often I drive it, but it doesn't stick to the road like glue, as my EB Ghia does.....
Cheers

My mighty boy handles like a pregnant cow on acid. It's tiring to drive in a straight line and understeers like mad in the dry. In the wet I can get epic lift-off oversteer tho.
Although with a full set of worn bushes, positive camber and worn rear tyres this is to be expected...
I have ordered new poly bushes all round, and some camber pins so I'm expecting a dramatic improvement after that...

my boy handles better than any car iv ever driven.
i can go through roundabouts at 70kph, it sticks to the ground really really well with virtually no body roll.
if i tried that in my dads sonata it would probably roll over

I had a look at my strut tops yesterday, they are rather worn, so probably don't help handling either lol.
I'd love to have a thicker sway bar on the front & even just a sway bar on the back lol.

my turbo one used to handle well running all worn out mb gear a set of sava 155 R12 light truck tyres, had a sub box made up which was a tight squeese it held the center of the car really stiff used to hit 3 wheels around roundabouts felt like it was on rails.
