yellow people, iv got a 1.6 si mk3.5 fiesta, with 15" (195) wheels and dropped it 35mm. (G-MAX SPRINGS)

the bad news is that SHE still rocks side to side quite alot round corners!! im not a happy bunny.

any advice on how to over come the problem, like to get uprated antiroll bar links, or ali-ment kit??

any help will do, cheers do1

get some uprated shocks. just having the springs will give it a crap ride as the springs will move about in the standard shocks.

after that if you want even better handling, get a front anti-roll bar and maybe a strut brace too.

Yep you really want uprated shocks too

Now Si's come with a front ARB as I recall, but I dont think anything at the back?

Strut braces are also excellent and firming up the bodyroll, but I think in your case you should start with the shocks. Also 35mm is not THAT much lower than stock so dont expect miracles.

The Si 16v has front and rear ARB's. Shouldnt roll about too much though. mine's got uprated shocks+springs and has hardly any body roll.
you can get poly bushes for the ARB's that might help a little bit

Body roll isn't bad! A little bit helps you out a lot, rock hard suspension is onlt of any benefit on the track

cheers people for the reply, i have upgrated the shockers. the supesion is fine for up and down useage,

( hard, u can feel everybump plus exhaust grounds out on speed bumbs!! not good got to look at that! )

but corners rolls abit too much for my liking. mates car is better handling into corners.

nevermind, ill see how that goes and buy a strut barce

cheers, ill play around with ideas
