might have the option on one of these in a few months, is an estate in a lovely shade of dark green, LX spec on an R reg so pretty certain not the HDI engine.

Was thinking of getting the turbo boost up'd then some better suspension, sticky tyres and having something nice and discrete specially on black steel wheels for general tooling about.

I used to have an XSi with LAD suspension fitted was great on the corners and would like to repeat the old XSi's handling if possible with the added practicality and almost invisible appearance from the estate looks.

I have been in touch with LAD already but they were not sure on fitting the dampers to the estate due to differing heights and set ups, does any one have suggestions on the suspension upgrades possible ? Not after lowering it as much as making it handle well.

The estates handle fairly well as is IMO, some stiffer springs would be handy and perhaps some bracing to limit body roll but the damping is good.

The original dampers went on the front of mine however and i've replaced them with those from an XSi, complete units, shocks and springs and I don't feel it's helped or hindered anything, the front perhaps sits slightly lower but nothing too dramatic.
