Upgrade Suspension & not interested in coil overs or lowering......

[Hama3]

Not happy with the stock suspension, seems very wayward under the pump.
I'd like to stiffen the roll on the car without being ridiculous......
I'm happy with the ride height as my wheels fill the guards nicely.....
What are your thoughts......

Swaybars & body bracing?

Body bracing I really don't see the point of in a gen1. They are pretty stiff as it is.
To decrease roll, add rear sway bar.
For improving handling, ride quality and retaining ride height, fit Koni FSD shocks. Keep stock springs

I'm yet to add thicker swaybars, but I can highly recommend the shocks

[projectrracing]

+1 for rear sway bar.

[lup15]

well what do u want from the car? u just potting around town, drag or twisties? get new shocks at the very least and prob a rear swaybar.

you can never have too much body bracing, but some areas can benefit more than others. unfortunately this is where more expertise of our chassis is required to identify areas that can use extra bracing

[mickyj]

Agree with the swaybar.

Swaybars and adjustable shocks.

[bd581]

Sorry, but I don't see the need for adjustable shocks for this need.
Plus most adjustable shocks are designed for lowered springs.

The adjustability is great, but will always be a compromise between soft or hard.

That's the advantage of the Koni FSD shocks. They self adjust. So they are hard or soft whenever its needed.
I really can't fault them if you want better handling, better ride and don't want to lower the car.
They are OEM on lamborghini, and were banned from F1 after mclaren used them and won the title. So they should be good enough for a mps

I drive fairly aggressive some times.
Just noticed that the front end is very loose around tight corners & under heavy braking last week when
I drove around some of the cotter roads in canberra & not impressed.
I'm considering the Koni FSD & would like to get springs that are a wee bit stiffer than OEM.
I will definately install a rear sway-bar. Though which one?
What springs would you recommend??? Not lowered that is??

Keep your stock springs with Koni FSD's + Whiteline rear swaybar.

Will do everything you want.
