    I'd say these guys are on the money with revising your springs/rates.

    If you're experiencing a harsh ride on rough roads, it's more likely your springs and shocks, and generally coilovers such as yours are far less than ideal for those outback roads.

    Keep in mind that a sway bar, or anti roll bar doesn't have much affect on ride quality when you aren't cornering, as it can freely pivot up and down with the suspension. I would think the ideal setup in your case would be some compliant springs and shocks (ideally some kind of progressive springs) combined with some decent size sway bars.

    Maybe consider OEM ITR suspension or Koni yellows with your choice of aftermarket springs.

    This is hurting my head

    Beeza

    A swaybar is made to maintain ride comfort with progressive suspension...and a updated one enables more advanced handling in the corners. It also prevents "rolling" or "swaying".

    Your can can does NOT handle better with stiff stuff coil overs mate. Get it through your head...stop being stubborn and spreading misleading "...my experience is this so I'm right"

    The only way that proper coil overs make a car handle better (than a typical swaybar accompanied car) - are combined with semi or slick race tyres , ultra weight reduction and proper LSD as a minimum.
    JUST "Coil overs" will make your road car handle worse on normal road tyres due to improper weight shift between tyres and the chassis. It will make you loose traction far quicker and have far less predictable handling.




    But please , remove your swaybar a and run only stuff coil overs on the road. It's entirely up to you.

    Calm down mate.

    It does make my car handle better ON THE ROADS I DRIVE.

    They coils aren't stiff,I'm more comfortable without the sway bar and it deals with the bumps better at the rear especially.

    For example - one forty through a bend hit a bump 10-15cm hump or dip/hole in the road with the rear tyre.With the sway - BANG! Without the sway it rides through it more/deals with it better.Not scary-ish ..

    Especially with it's down a good dip.

    2 shocks already dying but car feels much better with the pre load though.

    you have already killed 2 shocks and by removing the sway bar you add additional load to them, the pre load on the spring won't change this if you are smashing into mounds and pot holes at 140km/h. Really you just need decent shocks that allow for more travel than entry level coilovers, rally stuff ain't cheap and its in excess to your requirements. Buy some KYBs, koni or what have you and avoid pot holes rather than crash into them..also check your wheels for damage

    That's just not trueshocks died from 5+ yrs of abuse,sway has only been off a couple of months mate.

    The rally coilovers are probably a bit excessive but maybe that's what I need to avoid future issues and it would give me more confidence to go on the harsher roads if needed.

    It would be cool.

    Cheers dave,I did a good check of everything,all is good ,just the 2 cartridges.

    Even the 20 yr old ball joints are fine.

    Running 205/60/15 tyres on 15×7 rims.Almost a commodore tyre!

    55's just weren't cutting it . Great size tyre for my needs.

    Thought about going to 195/70/14 for more sidewall but No,dont need it.
