suspension stiffened but not lowered? can it be done?

[tom]

hi hi I have a brava 1.2 80. I am a self employed stone carver and therefore occasionally have to lug big lumps of stone around with me the car seems to be able to pull alright but the suspension is understandably not to good I have 18”alloys on it as well which don't help. I was wandering if it was possible to have my suspension stiffened but not lowered. would this also help handling when not loaded up? a win win situation? yes I know wot your thinking why doesn't he get a van well simple I cant afford the insurance till I am over 25. any ideas would be welcome. many thanks, tom

Put smaller wheels on it like 15" to prevent any rubbing when the car is under weight and i think adjustable shock absorbers can be made to make the suspension stiffer or softer.

errmm i had 18's and found with even 1 person sat in the back... it was very touch 'n' go how often they would rub.
