well ive read loads on here about how good they are. my now best mate oliver was selling one so i bought it. and yeah it doesnt half improve the handling. ive given the car some absolute cumbrian b road thrashing to test it and it really does improve the feel from the back end of the car. can hold some corners at a good speed without the back end starting to feel really light like it used to.
really impressed and had a right laugh at half 2 in the morning kicking the crap out my car.
thanks.

Thank you.
I'm planning on getting one for my Astra H, think I'll do the 30mm drop first though.
They do seem to get losts of good comments and there is a good deal with them on AOC just now aswell.

Never experienced the Whiteline setup, but i've done the Cav RARB Mod on mine, and it has made improvements similar to how you describe - massively improved the rear end stability!
I wanted the Whiteline, but went all Pikey and spent a total of £5 doing the Cav mod instead...

yeah i do actually drive the car a lot so things lke handling are actually something i consider. although people will say its impossible it does actually handle pretty well regardless of it having far too much weight up front, in their opinion.

i was honestly a bit shocked at the instant difference you cn feel. i didnt think it would be so massively noticeable from bolting a bit of bar under the back beam. i could honestly have pushed the car a bit harder than i was last night round the twisties.
grand stuff.

prob one of the best mods to do to most vauxhalls is a whiteline
just got to watch out in the wet - can cause sudden over steer, seem to have loads of grip, then the bad end just lets go without no warning!

im used to that though anyway as apparantly having a heavier engine up front means it wont handle so ive been prepared for years.
