Has anyone used the whiteline front and rear anti-roll bars from demon tweeks?
Any good? Worth the money? Any problems with tracking/camber etc?

not bad price, about 75 quid each plus p & p arent they?
i put 1.6 sport antirole bars on mine cos it had a tiny rear one and no front one, made a bit of difference to body role but nothing to write home about.

By all means upgrade the antiroll bars!
I've used Eibach ones, and I have much less bodyroll and a neutral handling. whitelines should give the same advantages.
I was also thinking in trying one one their suspension kits, or springs, because I've got Eibach springs with koni sport and the ride is harder than a rock
Next upgrade: Polybushes for the front antiroll bar and camber kit for the rear

ffls, iv fitted poly bushes to the front end of my car, to be honest unless u ones have totally knackered just doing the anti roll bar isnt going to make any difference, i did the full lot and the only small differnce i got now is when i brake its alot more stable.

So boys, KrisTD and Brooster,
What about the ride quality of the polybushes, are they hard when compared with the original Vaux ones?
My car has done 80K sould I replace the bushes? Because rally design ones are cheap, are they any good? Will steering become more precise?
Thanks

they dont make the car any harsher inside if you get me, they are alot harder tho, when u try and squash the poly bushes they hardly move where as the vaux ones will crush right up. only difference i got when i fitted new poly ones was when i was braking the car held a straight line more than before when it was really squemish if you get me! i used the powerflex ones. full set i believe. may aswell replace them if you feel the need to take ur car apart for an afternoon. wouldnt just do the anti roll bar id do the lot while ur there!

yes! since i put on my V6 brakes too.
problem i have is i have no service history for my car so for all i know the bushes could be the original one that were put in in the factory 10 year ago
i'm just replacing things as i go... some polybushes are on my todo list.

Poly bushes make the ride crashy?
I too have squeeming from my v6s can be pretty hairy lol
I thought they were supposed to be hard as fook 
Or should i just put new vaux ones on?
Car has done only 43k

Anyone with older CorsaB's - I can get you genuine Vauxhall New wishbones complete with brand new bushes in them for a VERY nifty price. Anyone local to Notts then its even easier...
