    I can‘t tell, because the car is under body repair (rust removing), but think it will be noticeably better, coz the rear strut towers in our cars is really weak. In winter i rebuild the engine, now it has 2gen 3sge bottom (92‘ 3sge with piston oil nozzles), fully rebuild head.

    So, just pass MOT (after 5years :)) and about difference, it’s really big !!! with my stock (not for long) suspension setup, and st182 gti rear sway bar (17mm) now the car handles much better, car feels like it’s going on rails. Recommend this mod.
