Smooth and fast, or talentless monkey wheel-man like me ?

No expert on classics, but a thicker bar suits a smooth driver e.g. 24mm, whereas a 22mm bar will suit a "chuck it and see" style.

I'd advise an adjustable bar so you can fine tune the set-up to suit !

I've got KYB AGX, set at the midpoint, with Eibach springs, 22 mm adjustable bars front and rear at their hardest, Anti-lift kit and alloy drop links. It makes a very good road set up and you have the ability to soften it off if you want.

The Cusco kid (user name) can get you whiteline products and I think cdf (user name) is a dealer so PM them for prices.

HI M444GY

What's you ride hight like at the back with your sti's on?

I've got the same set up as you and the ride hight at the back seems to high now. Front and back sti red shocks with eibach 30mm lowering springs.

It sat nice and level with the original shocks and the eibach springs, now i've spent a load on upgrading i think i've made a mistake.

Can anyone advise?

Thanks
