    H & R Springs

    I have noticed quite a few people on this forum use these springs. Does the car handle better with them fitted? Or is the standard form the best option handling-wise, what about cup pack vs H&R also? Thanks!

    197 - Daily Car?

    Would you say the 197 could be used as a daily driver quite easily? I do around 35-40 miles a day for work mainly on B roads, so fuel consumption is quite good and TBH i'm not to fussed about fuel aslong as it isn't stupidly bad!
