Rear Suspension complete/2.0 LX

I just finished my rear suspension ,I am using an MP3 rear swaybar with AWR Racing mounting blocks . I used the stock bushings (opened up to fit bar)and brackets . I also had Awr make me a new set of rear trailing arms to replace the stock flimsy trailing arms . The end links are replaced with AWR adjustable end links .
This combination of changes has made the car very predictable in the corners ,no morre wallow or dips . The rear doesn't wander at high speeds any more .
These changes cost me approx 300.00 US . The cost was well worth the changes in handling .
Next step is to add the endlinks for the front bar ,springs and struts . As for struts ,I will be using struts modified By AWR to use Billstien inserts . As for springs I will be using Racing Beat ,as I only want a 1" drop ,due to the fact I must contend with snow here in Canada.

Sounds good man. How much are the modified struts from AWR?

Looks good. Do you have any pictures of your setup? What you did is pretty much what I want to do. MP3 springs/??? struts/AWR 21mm rear swaybar.
