Makes the car much tighter and crisper feeling through the corners.I have not done much higher speed stuff yet, but around town and down a country road - feels really good.Also - does anyone know the standard BA Falcon bar diameters? I was wondering if it is worth selling the old ones - or are they the same as XTs etc?

The track was wet so it was difficult to get a good idea under full cornering loads, however much better than the standard bars.I'll report in a couple of weeks after Eastern Creek, hopefully won't be as wet.
ugy Legacy Donating Member 199 Member For: 20y 11m Location: Auckland Posted 20/07/06 09:06 PM Posted 20/07/06 09:06 PM Put mine on front and rear the handling is so much better.Been around some tight corners and the rear seems to be ok. Find the car seems to be a lot stiffer.No dissapointment here. So easy to put on your self.One thing I did notice is my passenger side bar hanger (I think that's what you call them) was slightly bent and they look pretty flimsy to me. Wondering if you can get stronger ones.

This in turn slackedned off the nut holding the end of the bar. Standard bar, doesnt quite touch.Hopefully they dont fuss over replacing the part.
