Re: suspension

look i added a rear sway bar to my 96 ek hatch and not even racing my frame started to tear, i was lucky i caught it early, and i was using a smaller sway bar, my phrase is better safe than sorry. if your getting a bigger one anyways might aswell get it

Re: suspension

the difference between a sway bar ripping out the subframe and being fine is only a few mm, guesstimates aren't sufficient when we're talking about that level of percision.

Re: suspension

I think for now until I can afford a nice set i'm going to get the Koni STR T shocks. Their a direct oe replacement and supposedly stiffer than stock and for cheaper then you can get any at autozone. Does anybody know if this shock is a mono-tube design? and if anybody has used these, how much stiffer are they than stock?
