    Default VXSS Suspension & Handling POST

    I find the FE2 suspension in my car to be FarkING! shockin... rolls around like a boat.. i am looking into doin some circuit work and wanna be able to crack sideways action in 3rd and 4th gear without it wantifeeling like its gonna through me off the road...

    at the moment im thinking a set of tein coilovers, whiteline sway bars and strut braces front and rear

    I wanna hear peoples opinions on suspension setups for the VX and what has worked for them..

    Cheers

    Dan

    Sounds like a good start, your car is coming on 10 years old so the suspension will need a fair amount of work ie: bushes, springs, shocks, sway bars upgrades and maybe try to loses some of the dead wait in the car like the sound deadening, spare wheel, back seats basically what ever you don't need toss it.
