Plans for suspension upgrades.

Whick ALK Tigga?

Many people think that the faster steering response from greater roll stiffness improves handling hence the preoccupation with lowering springs and stiffer antiroll bars but it is only part of the equation.

Yes, I agree a lot. You want your suspension to work, it what keeps the tyres on our crappy roads. If you stiffen it up too much with springs and especially big sway bars, you can reduce this from happening. If you really want it to stick like s*^t to a bear, remove the sway bar- it might roll around and scrape the sills, but it'll stick. Pumping up the rear sway bar too much can also increase tendencay for snap oversteer, particualry if you tend to drive hard out of corners (level/risk depending on chassis stiffness and your ability to drive too ) - just something else to think about.

I've got H/D adjustable rear sway bar on middle setting, and a anti lift kit up front, riding on after market 18" with ET35. I'm pretty happy with it all as it doesn't sacrifice too much ride comfort and height, but handles a lot better on daily drive up and down range. The ALK made a huge difference in turn in, which I had no idea about but was recommended by sway bar seller...
good luck with it.
and roads are pretty crappy here too...

Not a bad setup if the Tig understeers a lot in stock set up - the ALK actually softens the front end by reducing the amount of anti-dive/lift built in to the car so that it is more compliant when accelerating or braking. This increases the available grip, reducing understeer while the rear anti-roll bar reduces the rear grip, again reducing understeer. It's all about balance.
Did you get a heavier front anti-roll bar with the ALK? They usually install them together to make the front more responsive without loosing grip.

Pumping up the rear sway bar too much can also increase tendencay for snap oversteer, particualry if you tend to drive hard out of corners (level/risk depending on chassis stiffness and your ability to drive too ) - just something else to think about.

Especially when you TRY to drive it hard through a turn and then realise you've overcommitted and need to back off. Life can get quite exciting then, if you live through the experience

ALK sounds sweet, anybody recommend a brand or where to get them?
Found these on ebay...they look pretty sweet. Whiteline and being sold by a power seller.

Yes ... that's the one and only AFAIK.

The price offered is also lower than RRP and free shipping.

So it's a no brainer!

Thanks guys, I have the HD rear swaybar, was thinking of going front one too. Looks like I'll have to get this ALK now too lol.

Hi guys...after reading this thread,anyone here can tell me whether putting in the anti lift kit would b sufficient to overcome bodyroll/sway during high speed cornering? or do i need to put in the sway bar as well? both or either one better? sorry for asking a noob question here...but still new into modding..haha

The rear sway bar would be the most beneficial of the mods you have stated.

I would hazard a guess that a set of coilovers will reduce body roll further though due to the lower CoG.

Just got a quote from a local dealer for whiteline...front n rear sway bar for aud650 without installation...any suggestion whether by just putting in the back sway bar b enough? should i put in the front sway bar too? i reckon by putting in both will make our already rigid car giving out more squirking or squeaking noise in cabin...any thoughts guys??
