I've seen several contemporary test reports claiming that the suspension on the BC coupe is/was "softer" and "less sporty" than the earlier AC coupe.

What steps can one take to sharpen up the handling of a 124 BC?
heavy-duty shocks?
nolathane bushes?
lower profile tyres?
anti-roll bars?
other?

Keen to hear recommendations - based on real experience please...thanks!

Anti roll bars!! If you can get your hands on a set of AC springs too?

Anti roll bars from AC, and CC1 springs.

Theres lots of guys on the turbo124.com site that have done alsorts of things to make the 124 handle. To me they handle well standard. I come down the kaikora's at over 100mph and only backing off on those tight 35kmh bends, lol That was years ago. It was alot of fun though There are whole sections on the 124 site on handling.
