    Default Gen1 Suspension Mods?

    Hi Guys,

    Looking for some guidance/suggestions on what to do next in my gen1 3MPS. Last night i put in BC Coilovers, which was a nice straightforward install.
    What supporting mods should i be looking at? I understand some of the stock parts will weaken as the car is dropped lowed (Only slightly lowered at this stage).

    Thinking front+rear sway bars to tighten everything up a little more, but do i need caster/camber arms, etc?

    Cheers,
    Kyle.

    Rear sway bar is a definate.
    Rear camber arms highly suggested.
    Adjustable upgraded sway bar end links also highly suggested.

    I'd go uprated rear sway bar on a soft setting.

    Camber arms only if you find you can't get the correct settings dialed in on the stock gear.

    Leave the front sway bar out. The coil overs should be stiff enough to dial out roll.

    Don't assume stiffer is better (in before "that not what she said")- you need some degree of weight transfer for grip.

    Too stiff and you'll end up with a rollerskate.

    GSL is local, sponsors the forum and sells Whiteline. Great service too.
