harrison140 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I am looking for advice on what to buy first . Originally I planned to get sway bars this year but now I think I might be able to stretch to coil overs but not both. So which first? My car is a weekend/track car no long journeys . Also what spring rate should I get I'm not to bothered about comfort just the handling. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Coilovers as you kill 2 (main) birds with 1 stone, tailored ride height and improved handling. Spring rates will depend on type of suspension ie true or divorced coilovers. I have WAT Racing SC true coilovers and run 14/6 spring rates. As shown before uprated anti roll bar won't make you go any faster. The chunky OE ARB's are pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I would go sway bars first and my choice would be Eibach. Regarding Coil Overs are you planning on true coil overs all round or just coil overs on the front and stand alone shocks/springs on the rear like you have at present.

Eddie_r32 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Another for sway bars first if stock shocks are in good condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodgeevans Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Just bought both to fit when weather improves, but from what I read up I would go sway bars first if you can only do one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrison140 Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 I won't be getting true coil overs separate springs on the back was looking at BC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrison140 Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 I am going for the Eibach sway bars first regarding the coil overs how much work is involved in going the true coil over route? I understand that some welding is needed but I can't find any information on it. Anyone know where I can find a picture or drawing? Also sorry if this is a silly question but is the welding underneath the car or inside on the towers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 No welding needed, that's why you can't find any information on it 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrison140 Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 I went with the sway bars last year big improvement I have now got some BC ER coil overs that are going to be fitted next month. I have ordered some toe/camber bolts as they are probably worse for wear is there anything else I should replace at the same time ? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
