You might also want to get the lateral locking kit on the rear sway bar to stop it sliding left and right if you are using the spherical links.

Whiteline number WO450-24 (For 24mm bar)

If you want the ultimate in antiroll (and antipitch), look into Kinetics. I drove the 06 UWA motorsport car which had this and it's awesome! It basically replaces the swaybars with hydraulics. They used this in the Citroen WRC team until it was banned years ago. I heard they were trying to install this on the new Land Cruisers about a year ago, no idea if they went ahead with it though.

Its standard on the sahara and an option on the poverty packs. It is great for towing but the local company was bought out and then the parent company went cheeks up.

This would require massive r&d for a one off road car and I really dont think it is feasible at this time.

150hp less so your not spending 95% of your time trying to fight/work out when its going to explode into wheelspin.

I reckon fix your clutch and guards first, then learn to read the car as it is, rather than changing everything whilst you're still a novice.

Its also more fun mastering your car as is, then making incremental changes as you go.. This allows constant improvement and you'll probably enjoy the car more!

That being said, you're not an incremental sort of guy so its easier said than done

I had 22 front and 24 rear with heavy duty mounts and links. I found the handling was very neutral. I'm sure it will be a good starting point. Never had major dramas with whiteline stuff either. Only problem i had was the nut on the heavy duty mount was a little too close to the hole and the thread would drag on it. Tap it out and its fine.

bumping this up..

so far have got a cusco trailing arm (found secondhand).

Looking at getting poltec spherical links and rear heavy duty mounts.

Then MSI adjustable lateral arms (with bushes) the spherical ends are a $600 extra.
Then MSI rear subframe..

Im going to speak to selby and get a 24mm front bar to suit NA and a 24mm adjustable rear bar (anyone got a phone number for these guys?)

hmm for the front i may get the MSI DSS kit which addresses the front roll centre but not sure yet..

Also trying to find some cusco rear heavy duty sway bar mount??
