springs and shocks vastly improve handling. venommotorsport.co.uk  (http://venommotorsport.co.uk) are cheap and offer a good range there :)

strut braces help with hard cornering, also stop the fine line between cornering, and the suspension buckling  :cool:

Pretty sure strut braces would stop you rolling as easy and also keep the car in shape if you hit something, not that im saying you will of course, but i might  :rolleyes:
