Hi All!

Just another small querie, I have a 1.2 sxi corsa c and to be honest the cornering in it at any speed is crap! It rolls alot and there doesn't seem to be alot of grip their. I have 17's on the car but with the 17's the handling didn't seem to get any better? (maybe because they are heavier than 15's?). Can anyone give me any advice as to how i can get rid of this problem (without cutting my roof of!).

Cus i'm fed up with being beaten round the corners by 1.1 Saxos and 1.1 Peogeot 106's!

Anyones help would be appreciated.

A cheaper way is to get a strut brace!
