mine were about $700 for the koni reds and about $240 for king low springs all round. thats without fitment, it's easy. just do it yourself.

[Rohan 84ET]

ah nice, did you get upgraded sway bars??? i am strongly considering getting the reds for a slightly softer setup, as it will handle much better up here in my hilly area. but i am definitely gonna be looking at front and rear sway bars.

[Ash]

i'm looking into sway bars right now. something thicker or adjustable? none of these 1 or 2 millametre thicker shitters

[Rohan 84ET]

something thicker . . . .to stiffen un the chassis a lil, and apparently make more over steer than under steer. tho still debating in another thread as to whether thats a good thing or not.

Installed now, got the koni reds and king springs put in for $950 (fitted, with a wheel alignment included) through a friend of a friend. Heaps better now.

What are the Koni reds you are talking about?
I managed to get a full set of Koni 3-way adjustable shox from a guy in Holland for £54. I am well happy with them, but I still suffer from some body roll, as we do not get rear anti roll bars here in the UK. Can anyone supply any info on how to fit, maybe some pics of a rear axle set up?
Also any info as to where I might get some upgrade roll bars from would be gratefully appreciated!
Thanks, Mark.

Koni reds are just a basic suspension. When you mention roll bars, are you talking about strut braces that go on top, or sway bars that go underneath, or a roll cage?
