I reckon you get a balance of firmness and lowering in some springs. Ask around, people will let you know, maybe even the technical section.

How about some of the whiteline kit, ARB, ALK and drop links etc... They shouldn't effect the firmness much, but should transform the handling.

Using prodrives' settings, does that mean you have to get it done at a dealers? Also, why no ALK??

Just interested as this is probably my next route...

You dont need to go to a dealers, Prodrives settings (or Whitelines) are well-known: you should be able to find them using the search feature. My opinion on the ALK, and to a lesser extent, the front ARB is based on my personal experience... The ALK certianly gives the smallest return for your investment and I feel that by fitting the front antiroll bar youre undoing some of what you corrected by fitting the rear..... Other people will disagree Im sure, but you can read about Australian magazine RallySport's "Rex on Rails" project car (by clicking the clever link); where they seem to agree wih me.
