well it feels like the rear is lifting on the corners, oversteer understeer not sure which is which soz, the last pads were standard ones im going to yellow stuff pads now and dont get me started on the rear calipers iv only had the car a few months and they seem to be sticking quite a lot which is why i had to change the rear pads, not sure when the last brake fluid change was b4 i owned it, im useing toyos not sure which at 36 psi front 34 psi rear suited my driving stile better, i use it to get from a to b which often consists of driving from southend to braintree which if you know braintree consists of long straits and lots of roundabouts and i like to drive fast

Well id be looking to sort your promlems in the rear calipers sticking before you even think about changing anything else.
Whiteline do adjustable roll bars for your car, an uprated rear with some billet droplinks will kill the initial rear roll and provide more grip at the front of the car.
Yellows are very good for what they are, but i cant stress to you enough the importance of decent brake fluid and keeping it chnaged regularly. Motul RBF600 is veryy good and will provideyou witha firmer pedal, a set of braided brake lines will also help in this area.
Keep an ey on your tyre pressures as these can affect your handling conciderably. Id also recomend a full geometry setup. You will find the car will drive like a totally different animal with a good geo setup. This may provide you with all the feedback you require and give you the confidence youre looking for without spending out on los of unrequired upgades.
Get the car 100% perfect working order first and have a geometry setup. That way you will have a great base to start from and make the required changes to help get the most from it.
