              One would hope so, but I'd want to talk to an engineer at the company (not the retailer) and confirm that.

              Frankly, the only people on the Net that seem to know what they're doing and use 21mm rear bars have monstrous roadrace front springs, like 600s. I've never seen anyone convincing using a 25 rear.

              On rear bars it is better to go a little small than a little large. Especially for the street. Even on the track, a serious competitive racer would swap in a smaller rear bar if they knew the track was going to be wet.

                Your missing some basics components there.
                A-arms are good, and the coil-over kit is good, but you need goos front struts too, The torque arm isn't necessary with your car, save that money and get panhard rod and lca's.

                Why would you get lowering springs for just the rear? thats stupid, i could see the front, but not jsut the rear.

                Subframes are a plus, the k-emember is not needed, and the shock tower u can use mnild steel and ssave yourself some money
