Improving the handling?

[leemarkadams]

Hello all, just wondering what the best options are for improving the handling on my 5.0 Chim?

Steve Heath drop links? If so, where from?

Thanks

Do you sell suspension bushes ?? If so, how much ?? (For the rear upper wishbones)

Then Ohlins or Quantum suspension if you're serious....

Do not discount the effect of fresh bushes / balljoints / trackrodends and a good alignment on handling, before spending lots of money on expensive stuff.

Spends absolutely right. The best way to improve handling is to check steering geometry and repace worn components rather than opting straightaway for expensive 'upgrades'. You'll read dozens of posts saying how X brand shock absorbers, or suspension bushes transformed the handling of a car and how brand Y is so much better than the original equipment. Of course they're an improvment on the original equipment - they're absolutely brand spanking new . If you replace worn OEM components with identical new stuff, chances are that you would notice a similar improvement.

The first £10 you spend, should be on buying this book

I was only enquiring, as not had the car that long (about 2 months) and it seems fine to me, so perhaps I do not need to do anything anyway!
