As ever, bang for your buck is key here, wild fully adjustable coilovers are out the window, I'm talking springs/strut braces/poly bushes etc etc.
What did you find made the biggest difference to the handling of your 850 T5?

Powerflex the wishbones and fit a strut brace. HUGE difference for under 100 quid

+1 for the strut brace, even on my 850R it made a noticable difference.

I put a UR strutbrace on the sweed a while back and even though I have the engine tie bar tensioner kit, the difference in turn-in is quite surprising.

for me, it was strut brace, fk coilovers, standard drop links and new standard bushes on the front, ohh, and subframe bush inserts, on the back uprated dampers with nivomat springs. most people who have been a passenger in the car were reasonably impressed by the ride and handling.

I've also got pro sport coilovers which aren't as bad as people make out & are pretty cheap.
Next payday we're having meyle hd drop links which are supposed to the boys...

Thats a given with me - the first thing I do is get a set of decent boots on. In the case of the Bonewagon, I haven't even driven it yet, but I have a set of new RainSport 2s in the garage ready to go on I had the HotRod for a full week before I put new rubber on that (RainSport 3s in that case). I can't remember buying a car and not putting new rubber (and brakes) on it within a month...
