Why not DIY geo Joe? You will both learn a lot and know how to tweak the car for different situations. It's both easy and rewarding (and free!). People think there is some fixed magic geo that is the ultimate, but that is not the case. Geo really needs to change depending on what you are driving on. For example if your were changing from road to track, you'd know off the top of your head some changes you could make with a spanner + simple tools in about 1 or 2 hours.

Rear ARB helps too I would imagine, particularly if you have a stiff front one. JoshuaUXB has fitted a rear one on his car, though I have yet to drive his car to see what it's like (hopefully will do this coming week).

Doesn't cornering force fit arbs to the rear of Vxs? I have a set of stiffer eibach springs that the previous owner bought but didn't like on the road. I think I will fit them as I have fully stiffened the rear shocks and to be honest I would prefer it to be stiffer (exactly what flds mum says) :lol: However yesterday the old shed developed a fault with the brak lights staying on all the time. So that is today's first plan of action!

Yes they do. Much softer springs (300f/450r if I remember correctly) with front and rear ARB. I have CF spec springs but couldn't afford their ARBs and now have a 1' ARB from the group buy ready to go on. What shocks you running Joe?

I got 2 way nitrons but I have been tempted to move on from them... Too many settings and not enough knowledge I think is the problem!
