    What is everyones suspension setups?

    After the last post I thought it might be good to get an idea of just what everyone is running, coilovers, pollybuses etc
    So though id start:

    My plan
    solid adj strut tops
    polly bushes throughout
    Koni or Kw coilovers
    25mm front arb
    28mm rear arb
    Planing for track days, fast road etc....

    ok I know this my plan a nd not my car at the mo, but its the sort of list im looking for!

    lowerd koni shocks
    lowerd springs cut (i know i know its bad)
    setup is only temporary ATM

    other than that the ride is perfect like standard and handles really well

    My setup is:

    -KW Front Anti-Sway bar.
    -KW coilovers (V1's).
    -Neuspeed adjustable rear anti-sway bar.

    No complaints at all with this setup, the car is on rails and everyone who rides in the car comments on the surprising ride comfort.

    Mines moderate I guess but it does the trick for me anyway:

    -KW V2s
    -New strut top mounts
    -Neuspeed Front Strut brace
    -Rear strut brace

    Also looking at picking up a rear sway bar as whoever I have talked to I have heard that the rear sway bar is one of the best suspension/handling mods you can do.
