handling

Leon 2.0 tdi 2007 bad handling the car has had both rear shocker replaced still feels unstable on the road. in a straight line, is not to bad round corners

I read on the Top Gear site, amongst other places that the FR's handling isn't quite up to the GTi's. I am in the market for one or the other, after an inconclusive test drive in both. I wondered if anyone else has more experience of both cars. Thanks.

Ive had a browse through the faq and cant quite see an answer to my question. Im now tired of owning an ibiza that handles poorly, its so vague in corners and roundabouts. I want to improve the handling with coilovers etc, but dont really want to lower it as ive got the aerokit and the sits...

guys, having nearly perfected my handling setup with the mods in my signiture, i now wish to put the final piece in. new nice and stiff limited body roll suspension setup. now, i have read alot on the following brands, setups... dont want to spend a fortune, 350 would be tops really so...

i own a k1 cupra and i have to admit the handling on the car is good but wen i throw the car in to corners the back always drifts out alot its easy to control but i just wanted to find out if any1 elses cupra does this?

:think: Hi All, I've just bought an '09 ex-demo Speed Blue Cupra K1 with black alloys and all the toys. Needless to say, generally speaking i am very pleased with my new car! Great build quality, decent enough grunt for a hatch (plus Bluefin on order), good spec of kit etc etc. But one...

hi i am looking for any options to improve my handling on my seat leon cupra tdi:drive1: . the car has done 120000 so its starting to feel abit slugish . will replacing the ball joints , rod ends, drop links , roll bar links etc change anything really :think:. was looking for a aftermarket that...

I have had my K1 for 7 weeks and nearly put 3k on it. So i am now starting to explorer the handling in more detail. Having come from multiple Lotuses (i am a manager a the factory :D) there is a significant lack of feel, steering response and I can not feel the amount of grip available.So i...

Hello, iv done some reading on anti roll bars and stuff so iv got most of it sorted. using the search im lead to believe that a 25mm rear and 23mm front is the best set up. but as the lcr comes with the front arb at 20mm (i think?), would it be alright to just get the rear ARB at 23mm and a...

Done a few things to the car but nothing to help the handling apart from the coilovers. Seems to understeer alot, and is crap in the wet. What tyres would you say without breaking the bank. What would you recomend to improve the handling? strut brace - anti roll bar ?(rear)? Whats the...

guys I already have coilovers and was 90% decided on having them corner weighted and having a rear ARB installed. Do you guys think i would be better off leaving my coilovers adjusted for height only, and instead get front and rear anti roll bars fitted along with the whiteline anti lift...

Well since the remap has been back on the car its been excellent but even with decent front tyres the TCS light is flashing in 2nd gear in the dry :lol: I admit I do corner a little hard but I'm finding the inside wheel spinning up setting the TCS light off mid corner is a little annoying so...

My work mate has a MK3 cupra with coilovers and is really wanting to get it handling **** hot. He was wanting to change his coilovers (can't remember the manufacturer but they were £500) as these have been lowered to 60mm for about 10,000 miles and he thinks they might be fecked. I know how to...

Right in my sig i have done the brakes and struts and hopefully soon ill have some ap coilovers and 19x8.5 alloys and was wondering about the fitting arb's, droplinks and dogbone mounts. does anyone have any advice/recommendations on these?? Cheers in advance

Im not happy with my car so Im after some advice. Im not happy with the front of it, it doesnt seem as planted like it was 6 months ago. I know my suspension has got slightly softer but not much. When turning it feels like the front of the car wants to slide the opposite way. It cant be...

Hi all do you know best mods to get to sort the handleing out from having to much understear and wheel spining as i do know its a front wheel drive car and runing 197bhp

Morning All, I am hoping you can help a n00b. Sorry about this long post. I have a 2005 Ibiza Mk4 3 Door Sport 1.4, of late I have had lots of issues and its doing me head in. So 1 week before Xmas, my steering seems a little dodgy, so I check the tyre pressure and I figure out I have a...

Looking for a few bits to improve handling. could anybody give me some feedback on what you have done the most to improve handling? I am thinking abour a rear anti roll bar and a front top strut brace. How much would this improve the handling if any? What front strut brace would...
