Notice it moves around more when you hit pot holes? Thats one reason I'm hesitant to f*ck with the commo's suspension...

[B4TT]

Nah, its not to the point were the pot holes really un-settle it any more then standard really. Car is still at standard ride height with the Billsteins, so I still get the kind of smoothish ride but much flatter cornering I did some testing over some pretty shitty un-even pot hole ridden roads (not hard to find in the inner-west) and it seems to soak them up exactly the same as before By the time I got home the Bendix Ultimates felt like wood and stank to high heaven bit dissapointed in how easily they gave out TBH

[Soop]

Fair enough. I found in the gen2 it made it bounce all over the bloody place. Fair weight difference though.

Sway's made a heeeuuuwwge diff in my B4. I has 22mm non-adjustable front, 22mm adjustable rear whiteline's, but I have a front whiteline strut too. Worth doing a rear strut too ya'll reckon?

[B4TT]

yeah thats true, what size did you run BTW? 22m all round? see the B4 has 20mm front standard and 17mm rear, so its only 2mm front and 3mm rear difference. slightly less understeer-y too I noticed...... Now I just need a tune..... Hurry up 15th April got my tune booked for then. Will be cute to see what all 2046cc of pint sized anger can put out AMS Put one on the rear and see how it goes

[Soop]

Nope, barely worth the front one. Josh - 110kw

[B4TT]

LOL... probably! Nah I think it will make around 160Kw + not a lot at all but better then nothing I guess......

*COUGH* VN SS *COUGH*

[B4TT]

LOL!!! VN SS would sound a shitload better.. The 5.0L V8 had an awesome note to it.

Made 5kw more as standard was the point i was making

...and the fact you'd never get a girlfriend (other than by the hour), imagine how much you could spend on modding it!!!1

[B4TT]

Oh, thats engine KW but VN SS didn't make as much standard as the B4 unfortunately, even the HSV was a fair bit slower.... having said that with a bit of intake/manifold work and some head work and cams you can get a lot more out of them.

[Soop]

Ahaha. I was waiting for the first one to pipe up with that. Either that or the "ZOMG its RWD kw..." You're right though

back to the suspension stuff AMS, can I give your car a drive one day. I wanna see what its like without the alk's. Apart from billies and no alk's we have the same suspension components and tyre width. It would be an interesting (to me at least) comparison I have found with shitty rubber, the larger rear sway bar has made the butt of my car quite twitchy at times. Better rubber will help, but yeah.

My tires need replacing, but sure.
