@gomba, This is the setup im running on my B14 right now:
-KYB AGX Struts with Road Magnet V2 springs
-Front and Rear Tower Bar
-Whiteline rear adjustable sway bar.
-All ES Bushings(including trailing arms)

Now my next upgrade is the QT Adjustable Link from TDMimports/Kuo's Garage

And the TDMimports Rigid Collars for the b14 subframe.

Later i want to get the 2J Racing Roll Center Correction kit but im still looking to know if it fits the B14 as i think it was made for the B15.

From my point of view it is the only way to go if you are no thinking on buying coilovers.

Cheers

2j don't have a roll center corrections they have a bump steer correction kit but they won't do you any good with rm.

in that thread Mike K said

Strangely with the stock trailing arm bushings, I run stiffer rear springs as well. The stock bushings are so gushy, they don't allow the rear bar, including the stock one inside the twist beam to couple well. Once you get rid of the squishy rubber, man does the understeer go away. To me, its like a couple hundred in/lbs difference in spring.

These bushings are like going up 300 in/lbs in rear
spring rate! They make a bigger difference in chassis
balance than anything I have done so far. They also
eliminate the squirm and weird feeling out back.

All I know is, my car still understeers with or without these.

there's lots of calculations involved and every suspension is going to make it different from another.

Not trying to jack Gombas thread but I know this is a b14 but ive heard/read? on here that putting polys on the rear of a b13 can cause binding of the suspension itself and cause snap oversteer? I know the suspension is diffent on both cars I was just wondering before i thought of doing this on the rear of my b13

Ya, the binding issues are with the B13 only. ShawnB's suspension post explains some of this and the competing views on the subject.

p.s. installed the trailing arm bushings and it helped get rid of more understeer. I didn't drive very long or hard on the sway bar before I put the bushings in so I'm not sure how much it helped, but I think quite a bit. Car is definitely a lot looser in turns in the rear now. We'll see on my track day in 2 days!
