Wheels look good, what sring rates did you go with the BC's?

12/8kg. Good combo for a street car. I've got them on full soft at the moment running in the shocks however i'll dial them up a little bit soon. (Full stiff is way too stiff)
I did notice these give the coilover 'bang' when you hit sharp bumps on the road.. anyone else notice this? my HKS didn't do it as bad however they were softer.

Got around to doing the first oil change today (Motul 300V) and fitting the front and rear KTS sway bars. Big difference! Sits so flat through corners now!

don't mind my maori diff mounts. they work well!

I'm also running 12/8kg and kts sway bars.
Run the fronts on full hard dampening and feel its a little soft
Rear runs around 2/3, gives awesome grip. Full hard on rear damper was quite jarring over bumps

Yup, normal. You won't even notice it after a while.
Those KTS swaybars look pretty beefy. Quite a bit thicker than my Cusco's anyway. Are they solid, or hollow like the factory ones?

I noticed this too. The rear set on hard makes the car quite unbearable over bumps. Especially on the open road

Feels like the wheels and suspension are taking a huge smash. Can't be too good for them!

The kts sway bars are the stiffest ones you can get for an xchassis from my research. Solid!

" KTS hollow swaybars are best, "

Isn't he saying the KTS ones are good.. or am I reading it wrong? or is it internet sarcasm?
