They aren't called anti-roll bars for nothing. A matching pair of ARBs are well worth it. Soft front and hard rear settings and they balance the car better than just opting for the rear.

As for brakes, they are always a great upgrade, safety and make you quicker overall around the twisties.  :happy2:

Wont be for a good year or so. Got a good 2.5k worth of handling and traction mods to do before and the probably start thinking about lsd and poly bushes lol. Then bigger turbo, manifold and wmi. Going to end up spending more on this than getting a decent Porsche or what not lol.

More power? Happy for now, that may change but cars on the back burner at the mo.


Get yourself a build thread up and others can follow your progress.  :happy2:

Once got these few bits done I may do mate. Always think my car does not deserve one being fairly run of the mill. Hurdy and the likes have build threads with 550bhp monsters or at least lots of cool mods like yours on top.

^^^ Always worth doing a build thread as gives other peeps ideas/inspiration etc for their own builds. I didn't do one for 2 years then pulled my finger out.
