4 Choices. Which one would you choose?

[tomzi]

id not buy any of those and either renew parts on the car already to get it tip top or save the money for decent tyres/service when it needs it. ill await a what cheap buget tyres should i get thread in a few months ; ).

Car is all serviced and up to date so know need to worry about that for 6 months or so. Would never buy cheap budget tyres either. Trust me I've given this a lot of thought. I've only ever upgraded my car when all other servicing/tax/insurance is sorted first . Thanks for the advice though! Nice to see you're thinking outside the box

What about improving the already good handling though....

That has also been at the back of my mind. I HATE the driving position though! Would be nice to bring the wheel a good 3 inchs closer.

Decat is the worst on that list imo, makes the car unbearable day to day.

Regarding the airbag thing, people lived for years without them, if your that bothered get seats and harnesses, but then you should technically have a cage and on it goes lol. A smaller wheel makes such a vast improvement, only thing i dont like about mine is that i'm scared to touch it because i dont want to ruin it lol.

An ARB is the best on that list.

I have never tried upgraded springs. I'd say there for looks not actual performance although I've heard good things about prolines.

Yeah I've actually had the misfortune of testing an airbag out so wouldn't go without now.

i had a Decat and made no difference to noise on a standard system.

Sportlines improve the handling noticeably. I'm sure Pro's also do but I haven't used them. Maybe you should give them a try sometime.

Na I'm a firm believer if ya gonna do summit then do it properly. I'd go for kw coilovers.

 

[jack_kemp]

I've changed my mind.... Lol
If the car will handle ok on standard springs with an ARB, then I'd go with that.

 

[tomzi]

I've decided to go for the ARB. From searching on here, it's been getting some really good reviews. So it'll be very interesting when I get one fitted just how much difference they make.

Thanks everyone for all your input

 

[smit247]

1) sportlines
2) ARB
3) Decat
4) wheel.

[marinemackay2003]

Arb if you can get hold of one

Then a steering wheel

then save for coilovers

40mm apex drop!!!

Apex!??? Some good tuning advice there.

 

[.Kev.]

No ones mentioned a 2nd hand Rstuner and map, similar price as the springs. Or some powerflex bushes.

I know they're not on the list.

 

[Chris205]

Rear arb

 

[jack_davey]

sportlines

 

[big_yin]

I would of gone for :-

Sportlines
ARB
De-cat
Wheel

 

[Struggler]

well if you're not bothered about looks,
go for ARB mate.

the standard set up is well designed imo, aftermarket springs may improve it slightly, but a rear ARB is bound to improve it more!
