So far I've seen the Ford Bspec kit (eibach?), the Mazda 2 Bspec kit (bilstein?), KW coilovers and rumors of AST on a Mazda 2.
Several mentions of crash bolts which I think are a bad idea and not much else.
I know strut based suspensions get goofy if you drop them too far, where is that point on the Fiesta? Are there bump steer kits or relocated control arms to fix things? When does the stability control get too confused by modifications that change the performance envelope?
My first goal is to remove weight, that helps everything, then light weight wheels, sticky tires, brake hoses maybe, shocks/struts, bushings and geometry changes.
So what works, what has a bad cost/benefit ratio and what just doesn't work.
Here is #1, moon roofs and painted wheels won't help you handle.
