have you try bigger sway bars ?
from ek9 or even bigger ?

Hi,
My sway bars (stabilizer bars) setting is below,
-front:22mm dia.(EK4 & EK9 stock is 26mm dia.)
-Rear: 15mm dia.(EK4 stock condition)
This is Japanese stock conditions, I don't know it of UK specification.

I like small dia. stabilizer, because I change roll stiffness balance
by springrate at each circuit condition.
In the case, the tuning is easier than big size stablizer, I think.
and changing coilspring is easier than stabilizer bar.
The circuits which my car run, have many tight corners and high speed
corner is not so much...as a result, my car setting is matched to tight
corners.
If high speed corners only, bigger stabilizer will be suitable.


Today, I ran

A048 205/55R15

Front susp.

just a shorter final drive off the N3E won`t help if your B16A is stock. It`s a weak engine lucking torque down low, which i think would benefit more from a 4,9 final drive and shorter 3rd-4th-5th gears if it`s only your track car.

I think as you say, I want 4.9 final drive and to get more track.

I also owned a EK4 coming from Japan, It has Cwest body kits, sold the body kits and bought EK9 99-00 kit. Same thing I've noticed was the rims in my ek4 were different from the rear, front are Advan RG2 and rear are Advan RGI but same size 15 also white in color.
