The suspension mods they talked about on my car included polyurethane bushings, KYB adjustable shocks, performance springs and I have a limited slip differential that they mention created some power steer when the L*D takes over and lets you create oversteer under acceleration in a curve.

Have a look, its an interesting video!

Classic cars are a staple of the automotive enthusiast world, and there are more options than ever when choosing the right tire. Manufacturers like Michelin,...
