Might have to go a tand harder with the suspension.....

I personally love the H&R\R27 shocks set-up but think I'm gonna have to go (against my wishes) for 'collies' at some point. The extra power from turbo lump does ask more of the standard suspension set up.

The R26 gearbox, although the gear change is bloody awful (sloppy and a long throw) and is easily the worst I've ever driven, the LSD is something else. It's crazy how it pulls you out of corners. Fortunately, just reading on Megansport that there is a simple mod for the linkage that completely transforms both issues for £50.
 
Was going to mention the short throw kit available.

Its something I was thinking about doing also.

What are you finding the issue is with the standard suspension/lowering springs combo?
