Make sure you go for a full suspension kit set up, just springs will certainly give you a firmer ride, but it will also be very bouncy. Also shortened springs with full length dampers is never an ideal set up.

a spring kit will get rid of a lot of the body role and will make it handle a little better so if ur not planning on spending that much i wud just lower it on springs and get sum better tyres on it if i were you. or you could buy a cheaper suspension kit like g maz so you have uprated shocks aswel as springs, but as said previous you do get wot u pay for.

to make it harder you want stiffer shockers, im on spax coilovers and it makes loads of difference, gmax are cheap but you get what you pay for

looking to upgrade my suspension as its way to soft, and i get getting role and alot of understeer when i take corners and the other day i cum dwn this hill and the understeer kicked in i hit sum gravel and the car span 180 n i nearly had n accident.... i was doing 30mph?:S................

what i wanna know is if i upgrade my suspension, how should i go about doing it on a budget...... lower springs, or jsut get tougher springs maybe? would lower springs give me a harder ride or anything like that? got a budget of bout £100?:S
