HI

Dont mind at all it cost

there

Any way you can make the pics a tad bigger? Good writeup however!

Thats one ell of a post Whoosh, Nicely done.

Nice write :thumbup: up - I wussed out and got a garage to fit mine :D

Yours looks exaclty the same as mine. In what way is it adjustable? Just wondering!

Makes an enormous difference doesn't it?

Excellent guide i wish there were alot more like this one top marks

Hmmm, wondering how much extra this will be on insurance, very tempted!

Re-upload the pics to photobucket as I think you may have copied the thumbnail size ones instead? Or send them to me and Ill post them?

I'm really tempted by one of these, the only thing which puts me off is the mounting at the shock. That box section piece which is used to space out the drop link looks like it could be a weak point to me? Surely it will flex?

Regards Whoosh

Cool, thanks for that.

Nice post, very helpful.

I've just fitted mine tonight. Massive difference, understeer is almost eliminated and I have only set mine on the second (from softest) setting (same as seen in the pics above).

The guy I spoke to at Balance Motorsport was very helpful/friendly and the bar was delivered next day so full marks to them!

:D

How long did it take you to do Phil?

ill be ordering one along with some DS2500's when i get paid

I think these will be added to my list of things to do with my next service :)

Any Idea how these stack up against the 28 or 25 mm Neuspeed ones ?

It took me about an hour but it could be done in about 30-40 minutes if you don't **** up! I made several mistakes (like forgetting lubrication on one bush and using an incorrect bolt on one side etc) which slowed me down a bit! Plus it was raining :P

Having driven with the whiteline bar, I can't see that the Neuspeed one is worth the extra. I suppose for a track car then the bigger it is the better, but for road use I think it would make the car a little bit too "back end happy".

That said, I have never used a Neuspeed bar so others may disagree.
