Thanks for that 
have you got this on too? If i go just for the rear will it be worth doing?

i got mine from GNJ motorsport who is on the forum for £168 posted

I've got the rear on mine - big difference in handling, but can also make the back end fairly light

yep got both front and rear. rear is good, makes for "entertaining" cornering, with both it feels a lot better, nice and flat in the bends

[Sammy]

Thanks Gareth and Jimbo  Seems like the one to go for then, Will start off with the rear first and see where that takes me

what setting did you have the rear one set too with the standard front still fitted?

I'm just going to run my rear on 'soft' which is 40% stiffer than standard rear i think as i have standard front.

had it on the medium setting, the front is also on the medium as well. I think you'll be impressed with the difference it makes

[mkviken]

i haven't got round to fitting a front one yet

i will try the rear on soft setting and see how it goes. i think soft is around 60% stiffer than standard

[DFish]

So is the soft setting 40 or 60% stiffer?

originally i worked it out at +40% but i re-did it earlier with a different calculation and to double check used the conversion chart on the whiteline website and got 60%

with the standard bar being hollow its harder to work out


the OEM 21.7mm hollow bar is equivalent to a 20.45mm solid bar

so using the calculations and the whiteline chart a 23mm bar is around +60% and 24mm around +90%
