On that basis, the shipping cost to the UK?

I think $190 will work out to @£130??

My GTS is a little ahem, cough, errm, boat like, funds are a little tight to replace shockers and springs right now (blame Lloyds share price) so am wondering if these would help?

Hacker, I like fights when only bottles of "spirits" are exchanged... unbroken and without jagged edges of course :-)

Good to upgrade the sway bar mounting bushings at the chassis to the hard plastic at the same time to replace the rubber mounts again eliminates the looseness / compliance of the rubber. Probably most noticable in quick left right turn transition because literally the front wheels are tied together springs compresseed by the action of the sway bar. Get them too stiff like on a 911 with too little rear spring and the inside wheel can be lifted off the ground in a corner. The sway bar borrows spring rate from the inside wheel and lends it to the outside wheel thus limiting body roll and reduces chamber change and the shift in the center of gravity.

He was still one of the faster cars there. It's a parking lot, not banked. Was this a sway bar problem he needed to address?

I put the steroid links (from DR) on my 86.5 and the change was dramatic! The car felt like it was a couple of hundred pounds lighter, the turn-in was much improved and cornering was much flatter. I kept the factory springs and had new OE shocks installed. I had 17x7.5 front and 17x9.0 rear wheels. The ride quality remained compliant, but the cornering power was greatly increased. I also had the greasable swaybar bushings installed at the same time as the links.

Hope that helps.

BTW: I've already ordered a front and rear set from Roger for my '87.

Like most things automotive set up is often a compromise it could be that that particular corner was atypical for that track and the car may have worked well on other possibly more important corners such as one leading to a long straight . Probably needed more front spring and maybe more front antiroll bar. Less rear bar would have probably helped keep 4 wheels on the track .....hard to say without driving it. If that was an autocross he may have like the rearend loose so he could rotate the car in a tight corner
