Bit of help?
 

Anyone help me with a nice suspension set up?

I don't wanna lower the car, just make it a bit stiffer and not too expensive either. Thanks guys

The easiest, best bang for the buck would be front and rear ARBs. The ride won't actually be much stiffer but you'll have much reduced roll, less understeer, better rotation and more smiles per pound spent.

Any suggested diameters?

How much is 'not too expensive'?
How many miles on your current struts? - increasing bar size + spring rate can overwhelm old or standard struts.

I understand new struts and springs can add up and coilovers are expensive. Cars done nearly 79k. I was gonna change the droplink arms to whiteline alloy ones to start and if I needed more then look into maybe more

Do you have steel or aluminium front lower control arms?

Poly bushing helps to stiffen/tighten things up a little, both roll bars and steering rack make a noticeable difference, cost peanuts and easy to DIY with minimal tools.

Also have a read of this thread, very useful and probably one of the best threads on the subject.

Just get a rear only - makes a huge improvement and is bang tidy for road use

Steel arms. Was debating on ally

I was thinking that standard front drop links, if aluminium arms, would be fine. But otherwise, as you say, change the front and rear drop links.

Set of kyb excel-g struts, for classic, £240 (and bump stops + £40/50) - as yours are over 50/60K.

I'd use the standard 19mm front/20mm rear bars, with the excel-g's - they don't have the damping capacity to deal with big bars. The extra heat generated, by being under-damped, will lead to faster wear. Unless you use higher-rated/adjustable dampers.

You might use a new, slightly uprated spring set, but they would lower your ride height 20/30mm - which you didn't want.

Would the dampers be ok with standard springs

Do you mean your current springs, with excel-g's and new bump stops? - Fine, if your 15-23 year old springs aren't rusting away.

Otherwise, do the struts, springs, bump stops and top mounts at the same time - to save on duplicating labour costs, later on.
