touran owner looking for handling info (newbie)

Mr wigley, and arb recommendations or handling mods worth doing. Starting to think these Kw are just too soft

Hi,
The best tyres you can afford is good (no heavy wheels).
TT mk2 top mounts are good.
Fresh Lemforder ball joints & drop links from eurocarparts are good.
Superpro wishbone anti lift bush is good.
KW/H&R/Eibach upgraded arbs are good.
How low are you on your KWs? If you've lowered it below the t.u.v. height your roll centre is no longer optimum... which is not good.
Cheers.

ARBS... Camber up front... Superpro anti lift kit... decent alignment. Even on stock suspension that should be good.
Which KW are they? Decent adjustable coilovers are over 1000 quid. :scared:
I am looking for some decent adjustable shocks to go with lowering springs, IMO that for me would be the perfect solution.

thanks grumpy
all front end / joints / bushes are couple of k miles old
i'm not too concerned about wheels / tyres i just don't want it to feel like it's going to fall over when you turn in.
my old derv touran was on AP's and 19x8.5 wheels and handled very well (for a bus)
i'll get some mk2 tt topmounts then for when i lay my hands on AP's, the KW are as low as they can go but theres no chance i'll raise it :D
is the TT RARB a worthwhile upgrade?
