    Default Suspension Question

    I'm in the market for small suspension add on. Right now I have:

    Skunk2 coilovers
    KYB AGX struts
    Rear DC Lower tie bar
    Front DC Upper Strut bar
    Front Lower OBX tie bar

    So which of these 2 would benifit me more? They are within $10 of each other, so price isn't a factor.


    FRONT LOWER BAR (4 Point) - $238


    FENDER BAR (3 Point) - $248

    I'd personally get front and rear sway bars.

    Best money you can spend when it comes down to suspension upgrades.

    Also, you wanna try to get strut bars without pivot points. They still allow the chassis to flex :/

    But, if you ain't racing, you ain't gonna notice a difference anyway

    Anywho, to answer your question, I'd pck the first one.

    With new sway bars, is it required to get new end links?

    its best to replace them while you're in there, but not required.

    get some rear sway bars..you'd def. feel the difference in handling..and some new bushings... prolly set you back around 200..but well worth it.. trust me..

    i was gonna go that same route..buying a lower h brace..but decided its not gonna improve handling..its just a brace...why not spend money into something that will improve your handling you know?

    riding low is like a religion
