with project MV6 underway i am looking to make a list of things that i should change....

remember everything is all 2.0 stuff at the moment....

so what should i change on the front end to improve the handling?

and what are the best/thickest ARB's to put on the car for max rigidity???

also... would changing a 2.0 diff to an LSD be better for the v6 conversion?

My recs would be
500sl hubs
300e24v or 500sl front brakes.
300e24v rear brakes
E60 AMG front rollbar and brkts/bushes
Evo2 rear bars and bushes
TE solid endlinks
3.27 LSD
500SL springs
Bilstein sports shocks
Sportline lower arms and sub bushes
Sportline steering box
Servo and cylinder from a 300e24v
Just my 2p worth.
All readily available and quite cheap(Bar the E60 and Evo2 bars)
