What's the best mods to improve the handling?

Not on the 200

The 182 I had was very lively with 'LOOS' the 197 and 200 in particular are very neutral.

The 172/182 were known for it and like the 205,106/VTS caught alot of people out.

Ah ok, I had a Williams and a 205 GTi back in the day and both used to be 'lively' shall we say

My 182 was pretty mental to be honest it would cock its back wheel at the drop of a hat and in the wet the back end would come round really easy

In the dry it was fine and good fun but in the wet you had to really pay attention.


I bet there was a good percentage of 205s and clio 16v or Williams etc that ended up backwards thru a hedge! Good fun and treat handling but no ESP safety net

As it says! I have a standard gti except for a bluefin that's getting installed on Tuesday, but even without that last night I had a little one on one with a cooper s, I was doing ok in a straight line pulling away comfortably, but the problem was stopping and cornering, it was all over the place, I was going to get some eibach sportlines but somehow this may not be adequate! Any other ideas as I don't really want to go the coil over way? Thanks

This is more often than not down to over exuberance and hamfistedness. Spending money on suspension and or brakes may gain you a second a mile on a demanding B road (does that really matter?) but fine tuning techniques to get the best from the machine operator costs nothing.
