what drop would using rs2000 springs have on a standard suspension set up?

[Stu]

A small amount. Less than the 30mm you'd get with aftermarket springs.

what would be a good cost effective way of improving handling abit? 30mm drop springs and rs2k dampers which i have been offered.

 

Are strut braces effective?

[Stu]

Some good quality aftermarket dampers like Koni or Bilstein with RS2000 springs would be a reasonable start.

although a strut brace would look good ( i have one) it will probably make your car handle worse on our lovely roads,unless you plan on tracking it.

i had all 3 strutt braces on mine and the one wih made the best difference is the genuine upper one tightems it up and beleive it or not get an rs2k steering wheel that makes a difference just feels more precise
