Really like how it looks in that pic but it's the only one i could find.


I did. But I have no photos at the moment.

Cruisn was the brains behind it and here is his work:

Install Day! STi Pinks & Billies, HD Rear sway bar mount, Selby 20mm Swaybar

Forgot to take a better pic of new ride height but you all know what it looks like anyway. I'm sure that will come.

Awesome stuff Jake :D and your car is coming along quite nicely and have you gone for a drive yet with the new suspension and swaybar? It should handle real good now :D

Went with Jay and co through Kinglake + Healsville tonight, AMAZING.

the suspension combined with the sway bar has made it a completely different car. Previously I had tried HARD to get the rear to 'flick' out and never been able to. Tonight...it was drift spec (okay so not really, but a great improvement) :assassin: :assassin: :assassin:

Much more confident on those mountain roads now.

Anyone who is running stock suspension or stock rear sway-bar need to get their act together!

Next step is to get under the car again and check that the rear mounts are holding out, but I'm sure they are.

I always think about that. especially when the car rolls a little more than usual. i think its a psychiatric thing.

Glad to hear it and it gives the driver more confidence in the car and allows you to be less worried when having a go in the mountians :D

Also Jake has the height of the car dropped at all?

Yeah I can't fit my head between the wheel arch and tyre any more :P

I'd say it's given more than the 15mm drop, but hard to say. I'll have to measure it, but I'm pretty happy with new height.

Not a perfect angle, but here is idea:
