How can I stiffen up the suspension

[Barney259]

Can anyone please help me in hardening up the front suspension and rear. I don't want to lower it as its for my boys banger racing. Is there a cheap way of doing this or changing it with a different type of car.
Many thanks

Hmmm, not sure, I know the anti roll bars from the k11 micra s fit without to much modification. Might help

thicker anti roll bars

Many thanks for your input, I was told yesterday that the K11 strut and spring will also fit the K10?

Yes I think so, along with the hub/carrier from k11, that way you can use the k11 brakes too

the bottom balljoint taper is slightly different iirc, and topmout swap (2 bolt k11, 3 bolt k10 ?)

Top mount in suspension? K10 is 2 bolt

Eeeerrr, not sure, k10's are horizontal to engine lol I think

Both complete struts are interchangeable

ah yeh, the k10 bolts are north/south eh, and k11 diagonal
but as long as the pcd is the same then np

Spring assisters. Blocks out 1.1 coils thus stiffer spring and raises ride height marginally.

GE14 for the front.

I think I got mine from Amazon for £15 pair delivered.
I tried a pair of these in the back but they were too small for the gap. Thus, when the gap closed it would go significantly harder and caused oversteer moments.

You can raise the back with additional spring perches from top and bottom of a donor cars rear springs. Try a top one in the bottom (as well as the top) or two bottom ones in the bottom, or even 3!
