Hi Marcyeo,

We don't have a dealer in Brisbane yet mate, sorry. We will be travelling up North in the next few months to find some good companies to support the fitting and sales for the Shockworks dampers.
If you do decide to install our dampers, would be much better to remove the heavy bars and install the factory bars as they will not be required with our kit and will only reduce the grip mate.
Cheers
Brett

Hey Brett - by heavier bars did you mean the front & rear Whiteline swaybars? If so unfortunately that was on the old F6 which has gone to car heaven and I'm currently in the GT.

I was thinking of upgrading the front swaybar's to Whiteline again as a cheapo upgrade before getting the coin for your coilovers, but you reckon don't bother with the swaybars as they interfere with grip?

Hi Marcyeo,
From our experience, we have found that when we have install our kit in cars with the bigger bars, the balance and corner response is reduced. We performed all the mid corner balance work with the springs and find on our bad roads, the big bars reduce the suppleness and pull the car around too much. The bars by themselves may be OK but with our kit load the tyre too quickly.
Cheers
Brett
