Need advice on a upgrade

Postby butler_29 on Thu Aug 10, 2006 9:06 am

My handling is poo on my 1.8 dezil fiesta.

In a couple of weeks tym fingers crossed i will be upgrading my suspension to a 60mm gmax kit.

Ive changed both wish bones

What else do i need to change?

anything to do with steering?

Ive changed the steering ball joint.

Im using it as a run about due to massif mileage i do which is 450mile a week

Ive upgraded most electrical componants too.

Altanator 90amp
Battery
Wiring (bigger cable 0awg needed from start to batt)
Earth Strip
running at 14.0V

If you want to improve the handling don't fit a G-Max kit and don't drop it 60mm. Spend an extra £50 and fit a SPAX kit which is far better quality and won't crack round the spring platform and possibly end up killing you. Also stick to a 35mm drop.

G-Max kits aren't fit to go in a dustbin nevermind on a car

As above.

I fitted G-Max and mine gave way at speed,It was only pure luck that stopped me having a very bad or fatal accident :o
