after spending all funds on the rebuild ect, and the rear brakes.
im after making the car more firm on handling.

again, havnt got the funds for coil overs ect, so thinking on replacing the springs. i fitted sti v5/6 shocks all round to my uk 95 classic

and feels like theres alot of body roll in the corners
would eiback spring be worth looking at, and due to low funds does anyone know who is selling a set at a resonable price
theres a set on ebay for £80

but wont to make sure there the right move first

Have you upgraded the rear anti-roll bar yet? This is pretty much a must-do for any suspension/handling package on a classic. Most tend to go for the 22mm or 24mm adjustable item from Whiteline.

that was something i was looking at mate. i changed the drop links but not the anti rollbars.

so best to change these first be fore the springs..
thanks for that, i'll look into that first mate

22front 24 rear ARB, Proper meaty strut braces, engine/box pitchstop, diff brace to subframe, whiteline subframe bolts to chassis...etc etc etc. Springs aren't everything and unless you adjust the roll centre you can often make your roll worse by lowering.

The other thing worth doing is solid engine and gear box mounts to reduce movement of parts, I was astonished how much difference this made in my classic.

nice one for that.

i've put an add in wanted for a rear roll bar, 22mm
im not after lowering the car, as at the mo its about right for speed humps.
just want to stiffen the ride up alittle

Consider the engine mounts and pitch stopper as 15 year old mounts are pretty compressed. If it were me I'd go 24/22 on bars

I'd go for a 24mm rear as well , to get the most out of it, and definately do this before springs, especially as you've changed the drop links.

every thing i changed, lateral links you name it.
the car does have some miles on the clock, but alot of the car is new.
or low milage parts like.

just after rebuilding the engine, and getting 341,4bhp and 338lbft torque, i want less body roll

stiffen up the ride with out ruining the drive.
i'll start with the roll bars, then look at the mounts, uprating them then the h frames ect.

Dont change anything until you have 22mm front and 24/25mm rear bars on. Then make the judgement.

are they really that good mate

well i've put an add in wanted as funds are tight, so see what comes up

In a word Yes

I have the Perrin ones set on softest, Probs the best mod on the car TBH.

perrin cost a bit i know.
whiteline are a little cheaper being 140 new.
so should be able to pick one up for a reasonable price.
i heard good things about uprated antiroll bars, but getting every thingthing to build an engine, i kind of forgot about it
