right guys. i have a 1.2 16v corsa, i know it's not that fast so no wise cracks
the think is it's the worst handling car i've ever driven! i've span it out four times.  it just seems to roll and understear all the time.
i was thinking of getting apex springs any good will this make my car able to fly round corners. so you ur thoughts on apex springs please

If ur rolling and understeering all the time.... would tht not mean ur driving too fast round corners? 
i've got near enough same car - admittedly it aint best handlin car on planet but it ain't tht bad!!! Apex i fink r ok - eibach and fk are supposed to b better aren't they?

Springs alone will not help you.

yeh i do knw wht u mean m8 - but u just get used to it and compensate for it - if u realli wana drive fast round corner's take it easy goin into to thm - and thn boot it it out of them if u realli must - otherwise just wait while u've got springs or suspension kit - but even then it wnt make it into an f1 car - alloys will help - but its a corsa not a supra
