Default handling

my saxo vtr is lowered so it handles pretty well. what else could i do to improve the handling, i was going to buy some 10mm spacers will this improve the handling (as my mate said it would)

theres a section for suspension mate

spacers wont really help handeling much tbh
what suspension you running atm?
uprated bushes ect help out
aswell as a thicker reas anti rollbar ect

tbh it depends ow far you wanna go
can spend up to about 3-4k on suspension if you really wanted

10mm spacers wont do ANYHTING for your handling, best not to use spacers wherever possible tbh!!

Also you may want to post in the suspension section lol

What are you lowerd on, just springs and torsion bar at the back?

Could look at geting some new shocks all round, stiffer springs, bigger anit roll bars, bigger torsion bars new bushes etc

Looking at WELL over £500 for a REALLY good setup, but for somnthing which handles well for road and the ocasional track use id say budget yourself around £300 and get new springs and shocks

EDIT god damned you Alex!!

Took me ages to write this lol

Oh and you could spend 100k on suspension if you REALLY wanted to lol
