Had no choice standard wheel were low on tread :-(

So you've got the dry grip sorted, bet it still handles like a dripping bag of someone else's vomit.

 

Solid suspension bushes will do a lot more for the handling and are much cheaper to buy and fit than coilovers.

Already got full polybushed waiting to be fitted when I've got the front a rear arb fitted :-) think the coils will be needed im not just going for lows lol the coils will be fully adjustable rebound , damping and camber adjustable top mounts if I can afford it aswell think the handling will be more than capable when it's finished

Get it all fitted then, no need to wait for the coilovers, the bushes are fitted to parts you won't need to touch when you get around to the springs and shocks, likewise the RARB, you already have a FARB fitted as standard, no need to change that.

Sorry arb is not what I mean ummm the word escapes me strut bars ??

Strut braces? They fit inside the car and again don't affect the parts you fit bushes to, they also don't do anything but, hey, it's your munny 

That's the pony I beg to differ the rear strut I fitted to my prev fabia made a massive difference in lift off oversteer

A RARB makes a huge difference, a rear strut brace hardly any.

Also thinking about brembos from a mk1 Leon cr so if anyone has any info on fitting would apreciate the link plz :-)

IMHO a RARB is an absolute must. I don't think I've ever carried out another mod that's transformed a car quite as much. Even after lowering, I was disappointed with handling (coming from a mk6 Fiesta ST) - felt slow to react and the turn in was really vague, but it feels much more composed and responsive with the RARB. It's still no ballet dancer but very capable for what is quite a heavy car! .

Car's looking great so far, Looking forward to seeing where you go with it!

Not gunna go crazy just want to get it handling right for the moment then thinking about doing something different with spoilers :-)
