I have koni shocks and eibach springs and the car handles like a go kart, get top adjustables all round and then you can tweak till your hearts content.

I replaced my bushes with standard VAG ones, purely because I've heard that polyurethane ones aren't as compliant as the rubber ones but each to their own.

If you bung the rest of it on like the roll bars and strut braces it should go round corners like a house fly.

Sounds Expensive, but about the best setup you can get me thinks? There was mention of a possible group buy for some Eibach ARB's. People still interested? I'd take part if we could get a good discount.

... it's turned into a fashion show for poofters.

I'd be interested in how much they would be for a MK2 16V as part of a group buy.
