POLARBEAR666 at standard level
Default Cusco H Bar installed - Botox for front end

Got Abdus to install a Cusco H bar in my car which has 140,000 clicks on the front end suspension ..

Whole car feels fantastically rigid at the front end and about 5 different squeeks and rattles have gone.

Turn in is exceptional now and I don't get any play or noise or anything when going over small bumps/driveways etc.

Best suspension mod I've done so far.

Night and day steering difference. 5 stars.

I rekon its one of the forgotten bang for buck items, now that Ive got one. I mean you spend heaps on swaybars and end links and shocks and springs and then your wishbones are flexing on the mounts like mofo's ... this makes the whole thing rigid.

Polar, its about time you considered turns
White Line do a similar item, holding things together nicely. I found that at the point of understeer the recovery was much faster. The rear diff lock down bolts for about $50 are good value as well.
Having a car that stops and turns is lots more fun
