Re: I have £400 to spend...

What's the point in having proper seats in a car that doesn't handle?

Re: I have £400 to spend...

very good point.... personally i think he should go for a decent suspension set up, can get a really good set of springs an shocks for under £300.

leave him with some money for somethin else.
edit: such as an OMP strut brace! bargin.

Re: I have £400 to spend...

Thanks for all the input guys! Looks like suspension it is!
My exhaust is looking a little precarious though so i'm considering changing that aswell. Does anybody know how good the Ansa exhaust sounds?

My MOT is April Pete. It had it's first one last year and breezed through it and it's had no problems since so should be ok. Tyres are quite new too.

Will the lowered suspension help reduce the dire understeer?

Re: I have £400 to spend...

Uprated ARB helps too but so does stiffer shocks.

Ansa exhaust sounds good, email this guy for info

web@chestermodels.com

they are very rare though.

Re: I have £400 to spend...

where can i get an uprated ARB, and how hard are they to fit?

Ive got a PSX kit, with adjustable dampers and an OMP strut - i thought id finished with the suspension - guess not!
