Before you fit the Eibachs, I'd ask StressedDave's opinion. He will probably explain, in more detail than you actually require, why they will totally f**k the handling.

I think that's an unfair comment. He isn't going to get rich from that book and has to do a day job too.
Then also, here he would be preaching to the converted, so not really the best target audience.
He appears to be one of the good ex BiB, one who understands the joy of driving but wants people to understand how to do it safely.

He is, but I think that busyness limits the forums he can post on...
I suspect that Pistonheads (on which he is a more regular poster) perhaps offers a better market for his message (not the book, but encouraging other drivers to drive better) in some ways this forum is preaching to the converted...

Also, if you were going to pick one book for someone new to AD, would it be Reg's book, Roadcraft, HTBABD or something else?

Oh, and for those of you who don't drive regularly in Egypt, they don't put their lights on at night because of the dazzle. Funny lot out there. I spent two long summesr working out there and they have some Very Interesting Driving Habits which I won't go into here ....
