Best handling and braking improvement mods for fn2?
Discussion
I love my fn2 and generally it handles fine, especially at speed (seems to get better the harder you drive it), but I do find that it seems to feel a little understeery at lower speeds and on slow tight bends, like it's scrubbing the tyres.
I've had a look and the springs seem standard affairs and the dampers are Sachs which I assume is also standard?
I've read about the fast road setup and it seems to be a good route to go, but perhaps a little better still with eibach springs? I'm just wondering if this would net a worthwhile improvement. I find the ride firm but fine, but am reading the eibach are more compliant still.
Also the brakes don't really inspire as much confidence as I would like but I assume that braided lines, better fluid and pads will cure that problem.
Edit: Typos

You could get a Fast Road Setup - where the geometry of the car is changed. I swapped my standard suspension for Coilovers from Miester and they are much comfier than stock and improves grip slightly.
with brakes you definitely should consider changing them for stoptech/Brembo/Spoon setup, that's if you are keeping the car?

for the handling Eibach springs , camber bolts and fast road set up, plus a rear Whiteline anti roll bar
if your gonna Track it the Stoptech Big Break kit, but it ain't cheap as your'll need hub centric spacers plus the pads need replacing with Ferodo Ds2500, plus brake fluid plus Braided lines, and the rears need 2 lines per side = £2500+
