Gti rear torsion bars and anti roll bar, set of decent shocks on the front and xsara vts springs should see you well for cheap enough

I could be completely exaggerating but does feel loose. Will get it on the ramps tomorrow for a check up.

Beam, Wishbones, Ball joints, Xsara VTS set up but all of that wouldn't be cheap

so...
gti bars are probably £40 xsara springs £40 second hand if you can find them xsara/gti6 shocks £60 if you can find them new wishbones with ball joints, pbushes etc £110 meyle HD if you want the best kind of setup for wheels then gti6 cyclones are between £40 - 100 a set depending on condition. New decent tyres are about £55 a corner for decent 195/50/15 total... £250... then could be £300 on the wheels and tyres.

Replace the bushes and stick some new shocks on it - gti spec shocks will work even with the softer springs. gti ARB in the back if you like a bit of oversteer.
