handling

[Tagsy87]

hey checked the search but doesnt answer my question really, i want to lower my LCR but keep the handling good, i dont really drive fast but the road i drive in the morning is scary so need a bit of grip on corners, wanting to spend around 600 or 700 in the new year whats the best idea for my money?

oh and where can i get black headlight covers?

AmD have got a deal on coilovers at the moment, add to that uprated ARB's and should be your budget with much improved handling - set of 10mm spacers on the rear are meant to help as well

Dont forget to factor in fitting costs and alignent check.If you want better handling id look at good ARB'S front and rear first before lowering it.Lowering a car doesnt always mean it will handle better.The roll bars make such a difference to the LCR though.

Do you want to lower the car or get better handling as per the title?

If it's handling rather than cosmetic / aesthetic mod's then start with a pair of Neuspeed Anti-roll bars, fits inside your budget and helps handling more than any other mod I can think of

Just lowering won;t help handling as much, particularly on that budget

AmD offer is something around £435 mark for AP coilovers - including fitting and 4 wheel alignment - http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=195519

ARB's would be a better starting point in terms of handling

to be really honest its a bit of both i have always felt the LCR sits around 35mm too high all round but the handling isnt as sharp as i would have thought

The ARB's stop the car rolling through the corners, makes your tyres work better. Really good mod for the money

Maybe try a local meet if you can find someone with a set fitted
