NEUSPEED /BILSTEIN Adjustable Coil-Over Suspension
Features owner adjustable ride height (from approximately 0.75" to 2.0" lower than stock, and an external adjustment knob that controls the rebound and compression damping of the shock absorber. Reduces body roll during cornering, and front-end dive under hard braking.

NEUSPEED Front 22mm Anti-Roll Bar
NEUSPEED Rear 28mm Adjustable Anti-Roll Bar

Springs and shock absorbers only do half the work of reducing body roll. By increasing the diameter of the front and rear anti-roll bars, NEUSPEED is able to take care of the other half. The result is go-cart like cornering. The front anti-roll bar has a revised bend radius to clear the driveshaft on lowered vehicles. The rear anti-roll bar has a 3-position adjustment feature that allows the owner to quickly tune the vehicle's oversteer/understeer characteristics.

NEUSPEED Front Upper Strut Tie Bar NEUSPEED Billet Aluminum Front Lower Tie Bar
In hard corners, especially at higher speeds, the vehicle's unibody can flex from the intense loads transmitted up from the suspension. Using NEUSPEED tie bars to link critical suspension-mounting points reduces this flex dramatically and improves steering response.
