The rear springs are just too hard, you can swap these for some softer rears (which I sell ) and the car will then drive how you want it to . I suspect that at the moment, the rear feels skittish and the ride is jarring?

Do you think its just the rears that are too hard Mike?
I have a set of Gaz coilover to go on my saph (when built ) and i have heard that new softer springs would be best.
Whats the price of them too? PM if you like.


Thanks

Mart.

£59 delivered for the rears - the fronts are pretty much spot-on, so I would replace just the rears first and see how you get on .
