The usual is available if you look around. Uprated springs, shocks, polybushes. Think Adrian has various bits. I had one of mine set up fairly stiff at the front and 25% uprated at the back, handled quite well. 8)

Yes thats the kind of set up that I want to try and get, still use the standard rear springs but uprate the shocks and then quite stiff at the front.
I understand that you can fit escort rear shocks.

Why fit escort shocks??? You can get uprated and adjustable ones for the Viva. :?:
