gotboost? Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 The best thing to do in your case would be to just get some new (possibly uprated) shocks and some lower springs. That would be the first step..Then you could always go on and add:- Front Strutbrace (stops chassis flexing and makes the car feel a little more solid + flatter around corners)- Rear Strutbrace (similar effect)- Urethane bushes (no doubt the rubber ones would have worn out by now)and so on...There's always the option of coilovers but I think you're going to find that they're a little too solid for "shitty scottish roads" lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gotboost? Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I was thinking the exact same thing I just thought I'd suggest the other options first though, as i don't know how bad the roads are over there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 on my silver daily i used the standard shock and spring setup along with one of my own anti lift kit and rear arb, the best of both worlds,greatly improved handlling and the added advantage of a nice supple ride.but if i were to recoemend a good cheap kit it might be worth condering trying out g-maxes shock and spring kit at £370 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
