Hey,
Have got a totally standard Mk2 VTS and want to know what the BEST upgrades are to improve handling (e.g. best suspension, best brakes, anti-roll bars, engine mouts/braces etc.)
Im prepared to spend LOTS of money
Thanks

What are you going to use the car for??
Lose weight in the car, strip it out.
Lighter wheels - reducing the unsprung mass.

used as daily car/q-car, just want to rip apart the "fast" stuff out there whilst still being as discreet as possible

Have a look on Kam Racing at the Group N Bilstein kit for the suspension, they also stock strut braces, poly bushes and anti roll bars.
Best way to stiffen it though is strip it and get a rollcage, weld-in would be best, just don't change your mind ;)
As for brakes you really want to be looking for some 4 pots (willwood, Hi-Spec, etc.)
As mentioned need good quality tyres too as these are your only contact point with the road, if these are no good then the rest of your mods will be pointless, Toyo Proxies are supposed to be very grippy whilst still being good road tyres :y:

By BEST? You realise you're talking MEGA! bucks? Happily more than the car is worth and then some. So you really need to set a budget.
