    driving in the rain ? (Traction & understeer)

    OK the leon handles pretty well in the dry although a little light on the front with some understeer. In the rain its completely different. I have to pull away real slow or the traction control kicks in and goes mad to stop the wheels spinning and i get real bad understeer, even small bends...

  6. Terminal Understeer

    Hi All, My car understeers sooo badly... just washes out even on dry tarmac... the back end will not budge (I love playing with lift-off oversteer, my cupra refuses to do anything other than understeer). So... anyone know good toe-in / camber settings to optimise the standard setup...
  7. How to decrease understeer?

    I like to decrease the understeer of my mk3 cupra. The car is already lowered which made a big difference. I'm now thinking of buying a Neuspeed ARB. What is the best combination? Only 25 mm rear or only 28 mm rear or 25 mm front and 25 mm rear or 25 mm front and 28 mm rear? What is the...
