Default Suspension spec advice.

Just wanted in put for what spec I should go for.

The Car spec -
.
MY98 Classic running 300hp on one map and probablly closer to 500hp on the other
It has godspeed 335mm brakes
Eagle F1 aysemetrics on.


How I want the car to handle -

It is a fast road car.
I want it to be stiff with lots of grip.... but I dont want it to handle like it is on rails.
I want some feed back. I want progressive power understeer and I want progressive lift off/trail brake oversteer.

So a stiff taught car..but one that does lose grip in a progressive manner and one which I get to understeer and oversteer depending on what I do with the throttle.


The Spec that has been suggested -


Whiteline antiroll bars 22mm front 22mm rear – mid settings


Alloy dlinks front and rear

Roll centre adjusting kit 2 balljoints 2 track rod ends


Poly steering rack bushes


Anti lift kit


BC Coilovers (not sure which ones)




Any ideas comments on what spec I should go for to achieve what I want. Esp what BCs BR? RM?....and what size of ARB

Thanks

hi m8 wrong size anti roll bars , too small
roll centre adjust kit ,good choice
d/links good choice alloy klc 32 front, klc 26 rear.
motor sport anti lift kit ,harder bushes .
poly diff control bushes or full t bar bush
subframe lock kit .
camber bolts , one one front to compliment o/e bolt
2 on rear to adjust camber
rear track arms adjustable type with toe -lock kit
cheers geo

Fitted Powerflex Steering Rack Mount kit along with full Poly bush kit, rack mounts lasted3 weeks. Reverted to the O/E parts and car is no different and i'm more confident in the stock componenets. Save yourself the £40 odd quid, Even try replacent o/e parts just incase your old ones have started to perish.
