Hi Tim:
LOL,....Virtually, anything you wish. First, I would ask what you use the car for? Street only, some track use? What kind of ride quality do you expect?
Based on your responses, I'd suggest changing torsion bars, shocks, installing adjustable swaybars front & rear, and adding a front strut tower brace.
The sizes and configurations of these components will vary with your "mission",....

Hi Steve -
Mainly fast road with about ten PCGB track days per year. The front has been lowered already. Do you know of any good UK-based folks for this type of work? Thanks!

Hey Tim:
Ahhh,..good information, thank you.
Here's what I'd suggest:
1) 22mm & 31mm (or 33mm)
2) Bilstein HD front inserts & Sport rears
3) Smart Racing adjustable swaybars: 23mm/27mm
4) Front tower brace
5) Bump steer kit
You may add urethane bushings at the front A-arms & rear spring plates at a small penalty in ride quality.
Off-hand, I do not know of anyone in the UK that I can recommend, but there are plenty of UK-based Rennlisters here on the Forums that might be able to give some feedback about who is good and who isn't.

Hi Steve,
I think this setup would apply to a lot of us. Can you give a ballpark figure
for the cost of these components and a range for installation costs
in $ or hours.
This would be helpful for any of us thinking about taking the plunge.
Thanks for your (always) direct and insightful responses to this board.

Hi Neil:
LOL,....its a good setup that works well for street & track without trashing the ride quality.
In round numbers, you'll have about $ 2700 in everything listed above except bushings. We charge 12 hours of labor to install, setup, cornerweight and align the car. Labor rates vary widely; we are $ 70/hr.
