I'm running Avon semis with king springs and upgraded struts with a rear swaybar and extra front bar. Goes well enough to pull second at last years South Coast Nationals in the motorkhana.

I'm in the process of switching to coilovers at the moment, but I think the spring rate will be too high.

Stock - bit of body roll, turns quite sharply.
Haven't lifted wheels yet though.

When i had the matiz struts on, it was bumpy as hell but so flat through the corners, no roll at all. If i had camber bolts on it, probz would of been better.

If you take anything to POWERcruise with less than 300 at the treads then you're likely to have rocks thrown at you. ;)
