alexscotty Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 ive got a lupo gti sat on springs atm.and coming from a corsa sat on springs i think the handling and body roll is terrible.sharp corners it handles fine body roll is a big issue but on the more open corners i seem to try and put power down or go on the brakes and it just squirms and looses alot of grip.i thought they would be great fun on just standard suspension but apparently i was wrong anyone else feel the same or have different views ??Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Good tip, dont brake in corners it unsettles the car, maybe a set of coilovers and some driver courses (thats not me being a cock) at a race track, they can improve your driving ability ten fold.

Mike_M Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 An up rated rear ARB will help loads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Although a rear ARB and braking on corners probably wouldn't go down too well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdoor stevie Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Meaby you have a problem with your car, as I have a standard GTi and as long as I am smooth in the corners it is very very nice and handles a treat. At some point I will be going for a rear arb and some uprated sports suspension which is what i'm after but not coil'es as they are way to bouncy for my mature taste.Are your bush'es all nice and tight on the sussy arm's as if they are past there best then your handling goes down the toilet.

Big Jase Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 ****!you probs have lowered springs with standard dampeners?i ran uprated shocks and matched springs and it was bloody awesome!a proper matched set of springs and shocks will out perform most coilovers with ease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdoor stevie Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I agree with you Big Jase, proper uprated dampers and matched springs will give the most handling improvement.By the way what did you have installed cos I might go the same way pleasecheers stevie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
