Make sure rubber cones are good, add Hi-Los, Koni shocks all round, adjustable lower arms (probably illegal here, haha) set at 1.5*, 1* neg camber on the rear. Rear sway bar if you find one. Oh... (Doc dons flak jacket) "and use 10" wheels, if you're serious about handling.."

Have to agree with Doc the 10" wheels get the best of many compromises. |

Rose joints are not durable, they are just not robust enough to cope with high mileage on road cars. 2. Most of these adjustable conversions involve cutting and welding stuff to suspension arms, which is frowned upon. Yeah I know it's common..

No prob with using neg camber fixed lower arms, or a rear camber kit. I put mine on -1* neg at the rear without using a kit. I just file (or mill) the hole in the outer bracket upwards ~5.0mm. Then I MIG weld the bottom of the hole and file to a nice fit on the shaft.
