like i said just chuck those swaybars in before you decide on blowing your dosh on something, when you might be satisfied the way it is.

25 is too big for a road going NA6 for a front sway, IMHO!

usually a 3 way adjustable 22 or even 24 for front, and 16 or 18 for the rear,

I fell maybe an understeer issue creeping in if any bigger, doubt that you will run the 25mm on hard.

Also if you run the front with out the rear, make understeer your new best friend for medium speed or above cornering.

just my 2c, no offence intended, a 25mm should be ok on soft.

Soft front setting, and soft rear setting to start off with young man.

get rid of the shitty VLSD diff and get a TorSen...

Other than the normal handling mods the only other thing you can do is work on learning the car... understand how it reacts in certain situations, how to control it and how to get the most out of it without going over its limits.

Definitely! If you're after feel, then tyre pressures and a wheel alignment will give you the best bang for your buck by a country mile. The recommended 26PSI is useless for the tyres I've tried. My wheel alignment and upped tyre pressures transformed the car.
