Ta for the reply and pics.

Ride comfort and the fubbard shock aside, does the car feel stiffer and handle a little better in the corners?

Hard to say, my tracking is out

I'll get it 4 wheel aligned again soon. Its always been confident in the bends - I don't go too mental as I live in the city, not the countryside - so there is limited opportunity for fast cornering.

I've got a set of OEM rallye spec suspension doing nothing, but the front would only fit teh MK2 the rears are completely different (shorter) Not sure if you can swap the inneards from the rear like springs dampers seals to fix yours?

mmmmm you did read the coolant loss part yeah?
Bollocks check that head gasket out before you even part cash.
All in all I like it, but I'm worried about...... would it fit your image as a car butcher?

Yeah I spotted that, its a highe-ish mileage engine, but nothing really to worry about, if its a hose, its cheap, if its a head gasket, its slightly less cheap, but nothing too difficult.

Fitting a stonking turbo on it and hiding it from the insurance is the tricky part

Yeah lead in the rear bumper, and a rear roof rack might come in handy to keep that back end tight!
Ben you should buy my Atlas Gti 16V three door

Ever had the back end jump around at roundabouts with dips/potholes?

Replacing them will get rid of that. No more crashing over bumps and less road noise than before with my OEM ones. Expensive but well worth it. You dont want to change these twice so do it once!
