I think given the weight balance it'll handle like a lump-hammer.

Although if you put a rear ARB on it, it's supposed to make it a bit better.

And then it'll still handle like a lump-hammer, when you're pushing through corners, because all the weight's at the front.

Still, at least the looks are commensurate with the handling.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Yea the handling was a bit shody. That's why I had the the cupra bushes and the Eibach's fitted.whiteline rear arb is in the pipeline, i'm on it.  :wink:

I think it looks really good mate. Cant handle any worse than a Mk3 (or so they say!!) Loving the carbon, sets it off really well.

Dont pay too much attention to DH. Take him with a pinch of salt as he likes to get reactions out of people, and isnt well liked by some on here. He does really know what he is talking about though so if you cut through the digs, you can take a lot from what he says.:wink:

Ignore DH, these are a great choice and yours with subtle mods looks really great.

Awww, you can spot a Golf3 owner from miles off.

Oh and the terminally dim.  They're easy to spot as they're generally trailing me about, spouting nonsense.
