keep front vx and jus get rear whiteline ARB
if u get coilovers, remove front and add better rear 
some ppl may say remove front even on aftermarket shocks but i thought it was only coilovers

removing the front ARB helps reduce understeer when your car has coilovers and generally speaking with coilovers u wont get much body roll anyway

they are one of the better sets yes, but still they offer no progression on the springs. and they only have one benifit of being able to go up and down, which is fun for a while

teddy, with the coilovers on stiff setting there is no need for it, it tends to lift the inside front wheel with it on... makes a difference removing it... but gets unstable at high speed
