Are these things worth the money?

Im currently not really happy with my cars handerling, and would like to start taking it on track days.

I plan on installing a near whiteline rear anti rollbar, however I am just not sure if this will surfice. Some times I just cant get power down...

I noticed Quaife make a Dif for my car...

I think Lee M can get some sort of discount on them also??

Your car struggles to put 125bhp down? Are you sure its not down to you wanting pointless gimmicks for your car?

Also if you plan on track days, your car is all wrong. 17s and the kit arent exactly track friendly...

When is it you struggle to put the "power" down?
Is it on tight turns? or pulling out of juncitons?

Or generally round sweapers?

I actually find Toyo Proxes to be very good tyres. That's with 240bhp through front wheels.
