on the other note... I might have a GENUINE luckystar bodykit coming in.. cause I can't find a genuine mugen front bumper....

Air wushing? thats stainless steel header....
Hence Why I got DC sport... mild steel with ceramic coating... VERY quiet...


PS... It seems the Im the only one atm who got so many struts up the front on stock suspension lol!

Which header are you using? Some cheaper headers can have cracks develop in the flex joiner after a short while.

Melb seems more fun. Not that many modded Euros in Sydney.

He got a Weapon R race header hooked up to a metal car welded onto a test pipe iirc
So no flex pipe :-)

Not many in qld either D:

Result?
front lower strut & RSB
Well the car is lighter handling wise, steering is lighter (dont ask me how it just friggin does) and more responsive. the front end just bites and rear end just goes.
- understeers much less now

---

Update:
Just came back from a night run of Mt Coot-tha here in brissy, as a comparison to a run 2 weeks ago (without the mods installed)

Liking the handling with the bars and the RSB, very much so.
- Bugger all understeer, point and goes with confidence.
- Lighter (dunno how) and sharper/more direct steering, and you feel the grip more (even with stock suspension).

All in all, RSB/TOWER/LOWER bars are good investments

I only have the rsb and it feels good i can imagine it with all the other stuff

Hmmmmmm guys look up luckystar front for euro... so agressiveee but I like it haha probs going to go with that kit with the oem wing ~ different look in melbourne :p probably the only one with genuine kit too!

With the thicker RSB it is fun without understeer. But when driving at the limit in a long sweeping corner, it is quite unnerving how light and floaty the rear feels, so much so that the car feels like it is going to swap ends.
