I've ordered some billies from Cosmo's group buy and will be ordering some Eibach springs from AA for fitting in the near future. I know this is a popular combination and should improve things significantly (wishbones etc done in Dec)

Should I also be adding a rear anti roll bar from Truffle's Balance Motorsport group buy at the same time??

I presume I should be looking at a 24mm rear ARB - any advice welcome!

Not sure if they need it, but I suppose I may as well get them done at the same time as fitting the rest of the goodies

Suppose it doesnt really make sense not to do them given everything else being done....cheers Fergie, you have just convinced me to spend some more £00's on the coupe!

BTW I'm now thinking the 22mm ARB may be sufficient for this setup

Do you mean he should change it? I only thought the bearing needed replacing.

Pack the bearings with grease before installing them else they'll creak. frown

AA does a complete topmount kit. Something like £50 a side.

Think how long it takes to strip the suspension...

Why do it twice for the sake of £100?

Even when doing it yourself, think what else you could be doing in the time spent wink

Yep, its getting done! Can't wait, car is going to feel lovely!

Anyone got any advice on a 22mm rear anti-roll bar vs the 24mm option?
