[QUOTE="speed2horizon, post: 4054151, member: 30831"] Big bang for bucks is the front EVO 2/3 lower arm and anti roll bar for the reason. 1) it converts the putra's indirect ARB mounting that uses link bush(aka satay bush) into a more well handled direct mounting that uses pillow ball linkage(as used in GTI) 2) ARB are smaller in diameter, but more effective in anti roll effect. 3) More rigid lower arm as they are cast iron lower arms with more solid main bush. 4) Increase the wheel base length by 10mm, but makes alot of difference. 5) improves on the caster angle. Something like Merc. When u turn, u see the wheel slanting. Price is around RM400/set of L+R. But u must make sure ur absprbers have a bracket to mount the linkage. Agreed on the personal preference. Try around some cars. Get the setting that u like the best. Regarding the clutch. Harder than stock..? No lar, get a super single lor... As soft as stock. But cost $%^&*ing lotsa money. halfcut condition >RM1500. When u are talking about trinity, worth for money... the clutch will damage ur gearbox center shaft in time. Cause the clutch plate has got no vibration damper. If get exedy semi race, the triple spring on the clutch cover will cause the clutch cover to be damn 9 7 stiff.... When u are used to the clutch response and balancing, the jerking problem can be minimize. To my opinion, stay the clutch stock. The organic clutch is designed to take 25% more heat and torque than what the engine is producing. By the time u start modding ur engine to achieve 30% more pwoerful, then u think about the clutch. But it's not easy to achieve 30% HP unless U BOT. [B]AND YES!!! SAFETY FIRST[/B] Ohlin is, cusco aren't difficult to find. Yes, cusco n hks are designed for track purpose where there is no uneven road condition. TEIN, depends on model.
