Don't know about aftermarket, but you should find a decent OEM already fitted from the factory. ;) ;) ;) :y :y

well i think the oem on might be nackered, might need a replacement. have a LOT or roll
-
Have you changed the rubbers and bushes? they normaly go long before the bar knacks up.

an anti roll bar is just that .... a bar. So unless it's snapped, how cn a bar be knackered? Bushes at one/either end maybe or are you just used to driving a FWD Euro-box that can be chucked around corners cos the suspension is that hard :-/. I know I can nearly catch myself out sometimes, when trying to go as fast in my Omega around corners that I would in my Astra shed. ;) :y

Poly bushing the existing should stiffen it up a bit, and the roll bar, oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh Matron :D

Have you come from a FWD car?

yeah i have mate, didnt going to check the roll bar in the morning

RWD cars do not need to be compromised like FWD to get the power down, so you can have good handling with top levels of comfort.
In addition, the Omega uses dual rate springs to initially soft to attain maximum comfort, and stiffer when cornering...

Using the universal marshmallow scale as a reference. ::)
I'm having a set of up-rated std height front springs made in the next couple of weeks. Can't buy them off the shelf anywhere. My rears are Lesjofors uprated and are spot on.

Admittedly my MV6 does have subtly stiffer suspension than standard...

As said, RWD doesn't need to be compromised in the same way as FWD cars :)

I have an Eibach spring kit on my car, lower, stiffer sprung, bit bumpier at low speeds but still comfortable
