Default to much roll and to soft

I have recently put my late classic uk turbo on the road after a long lay off to get the car in shape.I fitted eibach springs and whiteline alloy droplinks front and rear plus a whiteline ALK.However i retained the standard turbo shocks,and i wish i didnt,the ride seems to soft with lots of roll into hard corners,very disapointing,the shocks have only done 45K so they should be alright.Can anyone recomend a set of shocks that arnt to hard for uk roads but stiff enough to reduce the roll..

Fit the Whiteline anti roll bars and you won't look back.

WRX take off shocks are a good upgrade, but shocks don't change the amount of roll, just the rate of roll....

A whiteline rear ARB or STi takeoff (I believe some UK turbo wagons had them as well) 20mm is a very worthwhile investement (STi bar and bushes cost me £13.50 delivered off ebay), you'll also be amazed at the effect of rear subframe lock bolts (whiteline) on the whole feel of the car, you'd swear you'd fitted stiffer springs!
