hit the throttle and hold on not really just a mix of good suspension a good set of wide wheels but obviously not wide enuff to scrub and a good set of grippy tyres should sort it out

WEEEELL....
7 inch wide wheels 205/50/15 tyres enough sidewall height so you can use it, but not too much so it doesn't flex like mad.
bilstein front springs/shocks lowered about 60mm with lowered pickup points.
eccentric top mounts with maximum caster angle.
weld up a rear subframe to hold bottom arms and front uprights then turret the rear with bilstein springs and shocks lower it about 40-50mm and a big juicy anti-roll bar on the back.

So it seems that bilstein has the best suspension kit. But how low is best. I thought that 60 mm was to low for good handling?.. and i have been told that bf goodrich are the best for grip in all condition?.. Also wts involved in welding subframe..?

I think the streetline kit is sort of an older version. I've got it on mine, had it for a bit over 2 years now. Seems good, fairly comfy, vast improvement over standard although I haven't drove any other cars that didn't have standard suspension so I've not really got anything to compare it too, I've got no complaints tho
