First step would be rear anti-roll bar and rear drop links. This will lessen understeer. Next step anti-lift kit which will improve further and give better traction out of bends. Next is front roll bar, but not sure what benefit that gives as I've heard it pucks back some understeer!

This is exactly what I've done to mine, the ALK didn't give any noticable improvement until your pushing really hard in the bends. I would highly reccommend these mods, and also an alignment set up.

I've only done the rear roll bar and drop links and the difference was instantly noticeable. I can really comment on the ALK or front bar, except for what I've been told which is what Flix said. (The ALK helps but makes less difference).
I agree that a full 4 wheel alignment is a good idea too. I had this done at the same time as the bar, so not sure which made the most difference.

ditto the above. i recently had koni adjustable shocks fitted with eibach springs, and steel front and rear whiteline droplinks. wow, what an improvement. stiffest settings on the shocks, and handles excellently. even with waiting for the geometry to be done next week, such an impovement.
next is the rear arb, sort out the understeer. personally thinking of an adjustable for various settings, but for now, happy happy.

I had the ALK fitted to my Spec C whilst at Powerstation the other week. Made a definite improvement to the front end. You don't just think it's better, you can feel it's better. Money well spent IMO.

How important is it to get the springs fitted? Do they still make a lot of difference if you have the other things listed above done? I always thought springs were the most influential handling mod but I don't fancy lowering the car much because of the speed bumps popping up around the place.

thanks for all your help guys
if i am to fit a few bits from whiteline (alk,arb amd f/r droplinks) would i need to change the shocks and springs or would the above be enough to make a big difference?
if not what or which make woud be a good replacement for the standard p1 shocks and springs,
i may be wrong in thinking but did prodrive not tweak this?

Get those bits done and then see how the car feels and whether or not you feel it needs more, then decide on what to fit after that. Some people usually go the whole hog at once though, so it's up to you really.

I honestly didn't expect it to make as much of a difference that it has done.

^^ Re the "pointy" bit I have noticed that the car turns very quickly in to whatever direction the wheel is pointed (sounds a bit dumb as a write this ). Sometimes catches me out as it seems to turn too quickly so I have to correct it a bit by turning back the other way a tad. Sounds normal then? For the £'s that you mention, I'll give it a go
