Advice

[mk2 ben]

I'm looking for advice on uprated shocks for a Tina Mk5 I'm running-40 mm springs and standard shocks at the minute handling awful

i found with the mk3.4.5 the best thing you could do for handling was stick a tuned heavy v6 under the bonnet completely gets rid understeer by turning it into oversteer the only way to drive a cortina

My Mk5 has 1" shorter springs all round, up-rated adjustable shocks,  polyurethane bushes all round, it improves the handling a lot! - My Mk3 has been 5 linked with coil-overs on the back,  1" lowered up-rated springs on the front with Koni red shocks, and polyurethane bushes all round, this was essentially done for drag racing  but with a V6 now fitted it's good to drive on the road with no tramping and goes around corners!
