I had mine at 120 at Silverstone and it was fine style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Could be that you're just not used to that speed in a car style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> One lane starts to seem pretty small as you get faster than 90. TBH, if you get stiffer suspension it's only going to jump around more at speed as it will seek out adverse camber more and be upset by bumps in a bad way. I remember the days when 60 felt scary when I was learning to drive. In some ways I wish it still was. That way I'd probably be a lot safer style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Edited July 4, 2005 by ArosaMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe16v Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 the nonly niggle i have with mine is the handling gets a bit boaty. before u know it, u'll be on 2 wheels with the tyres screeching (on standard suspension anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Handling on standard suspension on sport is shocking IMO. I had only just passed my test at the time so i guess there was lack of experience going on there aswell.Since ive had the coilovers i'l never look back, my tyres are s**t but it still handles great, you dont appreciate quite how much better it is til u go back n drive a standard car.

ArosaMike Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Handling on standard suspension on sport is shocking IMO.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I think I've worked out that the Lupo and Arosa Sport have different suspension. Arosa is definitely lower standard.With regards 0-60. Ignore the book times. A GTI will do 60 in mid 7s easy and Sport will be around low 9s to high 8s. To give you a bit of an idea, I did a 17.2s 1/4mile in mine with a sub, seats, full tank and bag of food/drinks etc the other weekend. High 16s are possible without seats.
