Gradually upgrading my Scooby.

Not sure about the Coilover route, so am interested in the Power Station bumpsteer, anti lift, Geometry and Eibach spring upgrade

Is there any benefits to upgrading the Dampers ? they are 3.5 years old now, so are there recommendations for a good road/track compromise ?

cheers

Thumbs up

Get the suspension set up properly b4 doing anything, and see what difference that makes.
You could talk to Powersation, but I reckon changing the dampers might be a bit extreme, unless they're well tired! Eibachs maybe?
I had geometry set up, anti-lift kit, thicker, stiffer rear anti-roll bar, solid drop links all round, and the bumpsteer mod.
Car is transformed.

rb5, I think you need something serious, not Eibach springs. The dampers will be worn out after over 3 years.
