Hello guys,

Did notice since a while a change in the handling of my car

I have to battle hard sometimes in bends with the steering on roads slitly bumpy, the car feel like not sticking to the road even when i don't go very fast Even worse now with the heat wave we've got.

So my question is what should i go for??? I would like the car to be like on rails in bends but not to harsh something you can live with on everyday driving on our nasty UK roads

I would like something top quality, many thanks for your help.

IMHO - KW or H&R

Did order a complete H&R kit + anti roll bars , hope it will make a difference for the handling in straight and in bends. Hope i will not be shaken like in a Mitsubishi Evo.....

how much was the complete H&R kit and where did you order from? im tempted, which ARBs did you go for? seems like people choose different sizes depending on how 'stiff' they want the car to feel.

Went today to MRC in Banbury for my suspension upgrade (and brakes it wasn't plan.....) H&R kit adjustable with anti roll bars front and rear. the car have been lowered of 2 cms. The difference is massive the car really stick to the road, especially at round about.....! The car fell much safe even on bumpy road, it is harder but still very confortable on poor surface

I remember before the mod i had to keep both hands on the wheel it was very unconftable, the car was changing of direction when i did hit a tiny bump , jumping all over the place, scary!!!

We don't realise but i really think at around 55000 miles the front dampers are good........for the bin.

Anyway thanks Doug for your good job as always
