Hi mate,
Welcome to the site!

I think Gangsta is looking at getting Ohlins suspension fitted.

Hi rizzy .. and congrats on being the sites 100th member :D

if you're genuinely unhappy with it, rather than just influenced by other peoples / magazine review comments, then first off try Powerstation ... they can tweak the geometry and maybe make other suggestions ...

Gangsta took his round Brands the other week and said he couldn't fault the handling ... I think taking it out on a track / airfield day is the best way to get to know the genuine limits of the car

the spec C has a different (wider) wheelbase than the normal STi's so you won't be able to get it the 'same'

However as Birdy pointed out on SN, the type 25 was based on the normal STi but with adjustable suspension ... so it can be improved ...

yes there was an EVO FQ330 ... which I destroyed :wink: and also another FQ300 ... which was all over the place. As well as 5 Porsche GT3s - which couldn't get anywhere near to the scoob around the corners and then couldn't make up significant ground on the straights to keep up with the WR1. Suspension was not an issue I thought it was almost 100% perfect. Maybe needs to be a little harder but then road use would suffer.
