   right, i'm in the process of getting parts to improve the handling of my car. so far i have a full spax psx kit and a front upper strut brace, i was just wondering what else would make good improvments?
   
   thinking of getting:-
   front lower strut brace
   24mm rear anti roll bar
   and poly bushes front and rear
   
   anything else?

   i dont want to go much wider as, i dont really want to be doing any arch mods, but yeah wider wheels/better tyres is a good point.

   lower strut brace, some good tyres, maybe lower profile as having a high one causes the tyres to roll

   had a lower strut brace fitted today and its simply immense for the money !!!
   
   for handling i would advise a pugsport rear ARB
   and some polybushing allround.

   afterall tyres on the only thing between the car and the road, a decent set are very important.

    Just tyres on top of what you have said mate.
    
    The saxo handles realy well when dropped imo anyway.
