best handling mods after coilovers?
Ive fitted alloys and coilovers which has improved the handling of my corsa loads but i was pushing it quite hard around the islands on the way back from work today and im stilll not happy with it I dont think its going to cope with the engine ive got planned for it theres too much body roll even though its sitting very low, so my question is after the mods ive done whats the most effective handling mods i can do? I dont mind stiff suspension, but the car is intended for road use when its done, thanks

uprated rear suspension and then anti-roll bars?

stiffer suspension and if your lowering the front with the coilovers you need to balance the back out with springs and dampers

Re: best handling mods after coilovers?
right next best thing honestly is get a sparco or omp front and rear strut brace it makes a hell of a difference, and make sure your car has a front anti roll bar on, and then if you want i managed to find it cheap but a whiteline rear anti roll bar makes a hell of a difference to the handling on the back, oh and if you havent got it already the standard corsa rear beam should or might have the standard torsion bar up the centre of it, if it hasnt got it get it!! but apart from all this you cant get any stiffer.
