worth looking into then, i always run the car on optimax or sul anyway. But i think i will get one in the near future.
Same for Bumpsteer sounds like its worth it although handling is very good anyway as it has new adjustable shocks and all anyway.
cheers for the advice

A lot of import owners have found Optimax alone is not enough. These are mainly STi's, but even so you cannot be too careful. Investment in a Knocklink is a good investment. Get one.

Haven't tried bumpsteer yet.

knocklink u will find many threads on if u search (same for bumpsteer also) but basically a gauge for telling you when you have plinking or detonation in yer engine which can lead to boom so a cunning plan especially with imports etc if being run on shyte petrol for example
Bumpsteer &/or geometry is a great plan & geometry will mean tyres dont go bald (well quite so quickly) & will feel better poised Bumpsteer is supposed to dramatically improve understeer type stuff
