|  Suspension upgrade for Oct vRS II Hi peeps was after some advice on what suspension upgrade to go for... I getting a bit sick of the understeer and thrashy ride quality the OEM setup is giving me if I'm honest. I want to retain as much comfort and aviod what I did to my Bora where I fitted eblich pro kit and dampers which made the ride very harsh. I've been told that fitting FSD's to the stock springs makes a real difference in handling whilst keeping, if not upgrading the ride quality. Or should I consider a upgrading the springs? Are there better one to go for? Cheers Rich

| Re: Suspension upgrade for Oct vRS II Not harsh at all, far from it in fact. Still riding on the OEM stops as to be honest the kit doesn't lower the later cars very much, earlier cars seem to ride a little higher.
