Hello I've recently sold my c20let and I'm fitting a 178bhp xe in my Corsa b and I'm trying to get it ready for track days sort of in a budget

So far Ive fitted
2.7 turn manual quick rack
Machined down tie bars for extra caster
Poly bushed and spaced front anti roll bar
Avo coil overs all round, 350lbs fronts 220lbs rears

I'm also on the hunt for camber bolt kit
Solid top mounts
Front and rear strut braces, with lower front
Super soft cut slicks
Poly race bushes throughout

My questions are will this little lot work ok together and what could be improved, to set it up right?

And would you bother with a full cage or stick with the strut braces?

That's up to you! only had a strut brace in mine, when I had a big off, cage gives you that piece of mined.
The set up sounds ok, I have front polly bushed, Bilstein B12's 40mm drop 300 lbs front with solid top mounts, 80mm drop 250 lbs with re-machined extra short G maxx and Cav anti-roll bar, I run medium Dunlop moulded slicks

Do a track day mate, then take it from there.

Cheers

I forgot to add the I want a cav rear roll bar or a whiteline one

I want a cage but I want to run plasic windows and all excess metal cut out if using a cage to save the weight I'm adding by fitting a cage?
