I love the no bodyroll feel and another 1/2 inch lowering is out of
question. So I've got to consider the offset strut tops. I've also heard the
same (negative) thing about the rear bars.
The current setup saves me hurtling sideways out of corners which I like,
but the understeer does make the car feel a bit slower in the corners.
Have any other listers had any experience with offset strut tops?
Hard to get, install, expensive?
Thanks in advance!
