Ben in lj - need your advice
Hi Ben,
This is my current set-up;
'99 C2 Cab
H&R Sports Spring with stock shox - lowered 30mm with the necessary alignment
SO3 235/40fr + 285/30re
8"x18"fr 3-pce light alloys
10"x18"re 3-pce light alloys
As you may be aware following my previous comments, I have to date toyed with PSI and wider track front tires to get the handling I was after.
I am now at the crossroads where I think I may need to consider coilover (I know you have them on yours) or GT3 sway bars. What I am currently experiencing is the car drifting or a hint of body-roll in bends.
Personally I think I need the GT3 adjustable sway bars ONLY however Gert at Carnewal is offering a handling package that includes coilover kit. I am still not convinced that I need coilover kit as yet however I am in agreement that adjustable sway bars can reduce the body-roll.
QUESTIONS FOR YOU;
1) should I just buy GT3 sway bars as it would improve handling?
2) Should I just buy the coilover kit as it may improve handling?
3) Should I buy Gerts handling package? I know you have the package set-up, would it solve my current and only issue – body-roll?
TIA for any help.

I bought the package (from Gert) and have little to no roll. Another of your problems though is that your shocks and springs are not matched. You can always try the GT3 sways first since install is pretty easy and won't require realignment. The package is cheaper if you end up going back for the coilovers though, but you might not need em.
