Default Compression struts....

Do you just do away with the anti roll bar if using compression struts?

Also what's people's views on them? A good suspension mod or not worth it?

Cheers billy

I put them on my car so I could get the bigger wheels to stop catching the front splitter. I noticed alot more road noise and the bumps in the road seemed harsher. Rather keep a anti roll bar if I had the chance

what do you use the car for?
road or track?

road, keep the arb
track comp struts.

I had them on my 3dr, no arb. was harsh as fuck on the road but I had avo coilovers, solid mounted engine etc
car was caged and fully stripped, and was not comfortable at all. noisy and harsh.

but on track im sure it would have been fine lol

You can use both, though I'm not sure that I would if it's a road car.
