Hi guys,
Wanting to stiffen the springs of the vr, and wanting to know two things. What sort of springs should i get (on a budget), and will i need new shocks?

Cheers

fe2"s are so close to standards its not funny, get some kings and a set of Monroe gt double action shocks, it will stiffen your ride but at the same time give you a comfortable ride

I suspect you would need to go custom made to get something significantly stiffer at standard height. Kings etc might have a HD range that suit, you would have to check. Else aurora/industrial springs or similar places would be able to help you.

if you want it to not roll so much - get fatter swaybars

heaps of people overcompensate for small swaybars by putting in real stiff springs - which ruins mid-corner bump handling!

get a fat front and rear sway bar and see how it handles

add stiffer FE-2 height springs to compliment.

I was going to suggest heavy duties, eg towing springs, they'll provide a stiff spring, and apropriate shocks will do you well!

where would i find the sway bars, and how much $$

better handling requires sway bars. try supercheap, repco, autobarn or a performance shop. heavy springs stuff you ride. if its for towing put airbags under it. seperate air valves
