look like some sway bars are in need smile.gif looks good though. other than the little accident wink.gif

I would suggest a front sway. 19mm would be fine if you don't go crazy with the rest of the suspension.

Do brits carve their cones out solid rubber? I think you'll find that if they are hollowed out, they will be a bit more compliant.

yup...sway bar might help.....

What kind of cone was that???

Or is that alot of bondo that decided to move along...

to replace that front valance you should go w/ an LE valance. they're only $70 from Performance Products

I'd say get a 19mm front bar, and call it good for a start.

As for the cone strike? Was it cold out then? Cold cones have a tendancy to inflict some pain on body work. Less compliant, and sometimes they even shatter...

I'm with you on that one Daniel, standard steel ones retail for over $400 here in the UK ohmy.gif , i think i can get the LE version for around $110 which is probably about the same with shiping and tax if i ordered from Perfomance Products.

It was quite cold out there, something like 5c, so i guess this hardened the cone somewhat, oh and combined with the speed i was travelling biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

I had the same problem as far as needing a sway bar on my teener but I already had one (it just wasn't adjusted very well). Here is a pic of mine before I adjusted it. It is a 19mm weltmeister.

After I adjusted it (3" from the end) I had one of the guys tell me that I was lifting my front wheel when making a hard turn. I was amazed at how it affected my teener. To be honest I think it was a very good learning experience for me to see how much it affected the handling of the car.

biggrin.gif biggrin.gif nice!
that's good information thanks, just shows that adjustment is just as crucial as fitting one.

lovely looking car as well Mike cool.gif

Thanks Darren and I also think you have a great looking car. Good luck on getting the front (and rear) set up.

Wow, only $70 for that LE valence? F/G or steel? That's worth it!
