I am after some good road holding suspension that is not too low (or adjustable).

mail we with what you've got and what you want for it.

I will consider pretty much anything from STI springs and dampers to full coilover kits as long as the price is fair.

Mail me

Shunty, where did you get your suspension and how much approx. I probably need new dampers on the front, so I may as well upgrade if the price is good

Thanks

Hi dnb - I got mine from Paul @ TSL, I didn't know him personally so didn't get any special price, although I thought it was quite a good deal...£350 for eibach springs & dampers + fitting of course, but I already had new eibach's on mine which I kept. I did sell the others on quite cheap to a guy on here.

They also set the geometry up as well, they have an Canadian guy there called Glen, who is **** hot with that side of stuff...

Thanks shunty, that is what i am thinking of. I currently have Graham Goode racing springs, but the car is way too low for the dodgy roads where i live (Handles awesome though!)

Where did you get your geometry done? What geometry are you running?

eagle 7 - got the geom done @ TSL:

http://www.tsl-motorsport.co.uk/

but I can see your in Plymouth, too far for you to travel. Post something in general asking nearest one to you, someone will point you in the right direction I'm sure as there are some very knowledgable people on here

As for the settings I havn't got a clue to be honest, just know the car handles loads better, much less understeer.
