Learn to drive or get your geometry set-up.

Slow down...

LOL I'm sorry but we don't buy these cars to drive like my grandad, I appreciate where your coming from but whats the point of remapping if I cant go round a bend at the speed remapping offers, my point of under steer is more in the wet, im not a kid that goes racing round the country lanes every night but i do like to feel the speed now and again.

Tyres are the only thing keeping your car on the road. so that'd be my first port of call.

And i may be wrong (usually am), the WALK (whiteline anti lift kit) is ment to reduce this considerably.

Start with some decent rubber, then if you want to dive further in to it an Anti lift kit, uprated ARBs, TT lower arms, and coilovers with adustable top mounts can be fitted to dial out unwanted understeer.

Try the tyres and walk first conti contact sport 3s are great and the antilift kit can be had for about £130, if your still not happy a set of adjustable antiroll bars will sort you out.

I'd echo what the guys have said above, rubber is one of the most important things, then i would go with uprated anti-roll bars - this is also said to give more feedback through the steering wheel... gotta be worth a try!

Also with FWD the ARB should be stiffer than the rear to reduce understeer. However, increasing stiffness at the front can increase the possibility of snap oversteer from the back end. Just look at Stig when on the last corner of the MKV GTI's lap (search you tube) and then imagine having a car that is set up to possibly do that easier!!!!
Ultimately the best way of increasing cornering ability is to fit adjustable top mounts, so you can increase negative camber, which will give you better cornering ability, but will also make the car LESS stable at high speed (100mph+).

  Thankyou all for your replies, I agree the tyre and the walk sound the best to start with, then the anti roll, cheers.
