Thinking of new suspenders for my S2
Discussion
Having had the wee beastie for nearly 2 weeks now my attention has turned to possibly sorting the suspension, I don't think it's worn particularly but just not quite firm enough for my taste. This is a road car so will prolly keep the std springs but what do you chasps think?
Jasmine advertise a billy kit - anyone used it?
I've heard rumour of uprated anti roll bars too - any thoughts?

The stock set up is indeed too soft for the handling this car is capable of.
I don't know about the kit you mention but it may be worth looking for a set of adjustable Koni yellows as that's what was fitted from factory on cars with 'sporty' suspension - single adjustable front shocks were option M474, double adjustable was M030.
However those Konis wear out relatively pretty quickly and it might be worth having a look at more expensive material like Leda or Moton which will last forever as they're gas units that can be set at will (if I'm not mistaken). Might prove slightly overkill for road use, though.
As for anti roll bars the stock set up is 26.8 mm at the front and 16 mm at the rear, and can easily be upgraded with 968 M030 unit : 30 mm front, 19 mm adjustable rear.
