upgrade

Just wondering how many of you have upgraded the n75 valve to an n75J? Is it worth doing to a standard car, or more worth doing after a remap?

Ok, before all the haters start, i've used the search :p I'm looking to upgrade the suspension on my 2001 LC, as the standard setup is, well, shite tbh. So i have a few questions: 1) What other ARB's from other marques fit? I've heard of r32 ones but any others? 2) What ARB's come on the...
