Sounds like a plan then save for remap after that?

I would say maybe put the £200 odd towards a remap but then with a remap youl need better brakes along with handling

Brakes on modern cars are usually well good though... As should be the handling

I'd go with the arb before the brakes steve.

Arb really is a good mod.

I have decided that the fabia brakes just feel rubbish.

If you press hard they do stop you quick enough, its just the feel, not linear.

Was going to say clutch and suggest a remap later but if you are not making it faster then this is irrevelant.

I'd go with The brakes and ARB and spacers on the back if you havn't already got them?

If you don't want a remap go for arb first, cornering is much better, back end feels noticeably tighter.

When i fitted mine i took the axle stand out of one side, the car was on one stand, totally flat at the back, was quite surprised.
