Sharpen up the front

[KarlR]

Recently had some Gaz Golds fitted, which I am pleased with but wish to sharpen up the front of the car. Cornering at speed the car needs more work to get it in and around the corners. I was planning on upping the stiffness of the front shocks a couple of clicks and leaving that rear alone - or would some adjustment of the rear also help?

Thanks,

They will reduce roll and improve turn in through corners.

Got the rears on, but they were part of a general overhaul (engine romoval/refit, new radiator, crank pulley, brakes etc. etc) that all added up to a whopping 66 hours worth of labour - what kind of labour time should I expect for changing the front droplinks? The car feels nice and stable on its standard Bilstein/Eibach suspension and the rear SH droplinks, but indeed I could do with a little more front end bite & precision as it feels a bit boatyfloaty...

It's about an hour but it depends on how long it takes to remove the old ones. The front have the biggest impact on cornering and turn in. The rears stop the car from being so twitchy.

They do.

I would have a word with the company that fitted the shocks because they may have given you a benign geo setup and could easily make it more pointy.
