handling advice
did the lowering over the weekend,very easy and down about an inch now so the car looks much better.
i need to sort the handling though,the steering on my car is very twitchy so i easily go off line especially on poor UK roads. the car did this before lowering by the way.
also i could do with less roll through the corners,which products are the best?
is it worth trying to get a z06 type set up?
cheers mike.

You don't mention which suspension is currently on your car. Look for the RPO options on the inside of the glovebox door if you have a 2000 or later model.

My first change would be the tires if you still have the Goodyear EMT runflats.

Don't know the year of the change but it will be in one of 2 places.

I agree new stickier tires may be first step in dealing with handling concern. Yes, body roll can be addressed by replacing stock sway bars with thicker ones; I'm using Z06 sway bars and it's a noticiable improvement.
