Anyone know of anywhere still selling these?
Tried pretty much everywhere I can think of.
Cheers

Tried demon tweeks and Balance. No joy. I have got a cavalier one but never bothered to do anything with it. I think when I get a minute I'll have a go at it. Was hoping just to get one to bolt straight on really but these cars are becoming really difficult to find parts for!

Try calling Whiteline direct. They are alright to deal with iirc.

Do these really make a big difference in handling in anyone's opinion? Has anyone tried the cavalier alternative?

I'm planning on buying one for my Corsa C, in theory they should make a significant difference as Corsa's have been designed to understeer at the limit. So stiffening the rear has the result of increasing front end grip.

Made a big difference in my gsi. I also removed the front arb which helped a lot with turn in

Sorted. Got some brackets made up to mount the center bushes and reckon I can use some old shocker bushes for the outer ones. Looks almost like all the stuff in the whiteline kit so it's going on tomorrow!

That's a brave move! I bet the front end grip was awesome, but did you notice an issue with lift off oversteer or was it nicely balanced?

I never smashed it around but my mate bought it from me off the back of owning a 106 gti and said it handled better than the pug. He used to drive like he had just nicked the motor

Wow, that's interesting. I went from a 106 GTi to my Corsa and was shocked how poorly it's turn in response was, in fact initially I was nervous taking it round corners too fast. Maybe I should try removing the front roll bar and see what happens!
