Ok im looking into getitng my glanza a little bit more firm, purly because i cant afford D2 Colilies @ £600 a pop.. and she dont like corners not one bit, she aint boaty but just not firm on the road like i would like her!

was thinking of going for all round Ultra Racing products = C Pillar anti roll bar,Front Strust Brace and Rear Anti Roll bar..
(There all white to witch i like alot)

Did you ask toy tuning about them or did you just price them up as per the website?

As I enquired about the anti roll bar from toy tuning and never got a response like :(

i would say both front and rear upper bars, then the 4 point front lower bar.
i wouldnt bother with the c pillar.

What suspension you got? may be worth trying to get some 2nd hand coilies?

oh and anti roll bars are good - especially rear on as starlets dont have one, but none of these will make the car feel firmer - youll need different shocks.

i heard that having the ani roll bars help witht the stiffness thats why i wanted to go all out on it, she really needs some help with the cornering, its scary some times i think she is going to step out.. (shocked and scared face)

C pillar one no good then?

Oh and I have GAB shocks and RS*R springs all round hun :)

i dont think you can change the firmness of the ride with anything other than changing the shocks and springs.
However, you can make the car feel alot tight going round bends etc by doing the following:

Front upper strut brace - not much differnet between the standard one and aftermarket
Front lower strut brace - liek the UR 4 point one - has 2 more mounting points that likes of cusco etc - surely thats a good thing
Rear Strut brace - dont come with one as standard.
Rear anti roll bar -dont come with one as standard.
Larger front anti roll bar with drop links
Anti lift kit
adjustable pillow ball top mounts

The c pillar one - you wouldnt feel hardly any difference for it - and the cost of it, i would look into an anti lift kit instead - also with the lift kit and the drop links on front ARB your replacing some of the bushes that have been on the car since new, so will feel alot better.
Im yet to acquire the anti lift kit and the larger front arb - there on my shopping list!

you have alot to learn young one....order tyres off the internet ie www.mytyres.col.uk, you then take them to your local tyre fitter to fit them for you :)

You'll need a fuckload more cableties to put your bumpers back on then. 888's are scary as fuck on even a slightly damp road.

I need to get my rear arches rolled to run 888s as they catch on the arches with normal tyres on :( cableties aint a problem - ive got shares in them, plus i breed them.

I ran RSR springs and KYB Blue shocks and the ride was really firm I would say the dampers you got aren't matched very well with the springs if you don't find it firm enough. The Anti roll bars spread the shock between the wheels so it would alter firmness a very worthwhile idea would be to replace the front ARB and the rear and see how the car feels afterwards rather than spend a fortune replacing everything at once!

I run coilovers on a very hard setting and its not great for comfort. The handling is fantastic without using uprated arb's or rear strutbrace but my next purchases will definately be ARB front and rear so I can soften the damperloads up a bit for everyday travel. The anti castor plates are brillaint possibly camber adjustable topmounts and a good alignment would make a load of difference to your car.

My wife's GT doesn't come close to mine for steering feel grip and stability and she's on Tein Superstreet coiloversand I'm on D2's! (the reason being the suspension is badly setup at the moment and the tyres are the wrong profile.)

But advice do NOT replace all the bits at the same time as everyone has a different driving style and how the car reacts is felt differently by all.

Are GAB's not adjustable?

Could try firming them up a bit, see how it rides.... then afterwards look at your options if your still not happy? You might even have money saved for Coilies by that time as well!
