at the mo my XE gsi is running a G-max shock and spring set up, no anti roll bar on the front.
the handling and the camer of the front wheels is SHOCKING
going to be looking into coilovers and anti roll bars in the vert near future, wondering what coilies people have had good experiences with, what poundage springs for a red top for road and light track use, and also jsut a rear whiteline ARB or front as well?
cheers Gaz

Most people use 285lb or 300lb fronts, i think if i was u id use front arb aswell. If not a whiteline then just a gsi one.
also use a tie bar lowering kit rather than arb lowering blocks

spax rsx coilovers are wat im runnin at the mo with 300lbs spring rate and its alrite, but i wouldnt bother with a front arb as i have found that its better off with the coilovers on, get a whiteline rear arb if you want to gain on handling

so spax RSX are a safe bet, i've never had spax coilovers, had a spax spring and nitrogen shock kit on my vectra SRi and was more than happy with it.
the only coilovers i've had experience with are Gaz ones and tbh i was mega impressed with them, jsut need to make sure there correct spring rates as the handling is shocking at the minute.

I actually have the Gaz coilover on mine anyway, with 300lb front springs but an extra inch longer because of my fancy top mounts.

Eccentric top mounts. Springs took about a week but got them through a company that no longer trades.
