thanks

I've bought their springs and Konni shocks, the car is being done as we speak so can't comment on the results yet. The springs are progressive so should take out the harshness on a normal drive. I've spoken to a few people and it should make all the difference for road use. The biggest change to handling would be to go to 18" wheels as I found the handling much better after I did.

Thanks Jay-Boy, please let me know what you thing when you get it back, I take it the 18" only changes the handling not the harshness of the ride ? the new shocks should do that
cheers

Yes the handling with 18" wheels is noticeable. Urban recommend anti roll bar upgrade but if you already have them I can't see it making a huge difference. I will update you once it's back.

Not sure about a defender fitment, But changing anti roll bars can make a huge difference in handling ,

We had a nippy corsa some time back, and just changed the anti roll bars for a thicker one which was a std vauxhall part,
It was a ikkle go cart after that, but kept its ride characteristics / comfort as it was previously,

Hope that helps a bit Thumbs Up
