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? |
