Right well Lets start things off I have a 1.4 16v leon I know its not quick because its a small engine in a big car I dont expect it to be quick. I dont want to do anything to try to make it go any quicker as I know its not possible without a turbo kit and stripping the car down.
So basically I am wondering what handling modifications I can do to make the car handle far better than all the other cars in this engine range:
So far only handling modifications I have are:
Lowered 35mm on standard shocks
running 225/45 17 goodyear eagle f1 assymetrics on the back and goodyear excellence on the front
And a powerflex dogbone mount

What else can I do that wont break the bank?
I was thinking of putting eagle f1 assymetrics on the front so I would have them all round?
I was also thinking my anti-roll bar links are made of plastic so should I change them for the upgraded metal ones?
Also how about some new top mounts and bearing for the front suspension legs?

Please give any advice
thanks for taking the time to help me out :D
 
strut braces, anti roll bars and decent bushes
reducing weight would help alot but not always practical
