Want it to handle well, then lower it 40mm front 35mm back from standard.
Uprate all the suspension bushes and buy some good antiroll bars.

Khare bear how do you get oversteer on a FWD car?
Its virtually impossible on normal road conditions!


Lift off oversteer? :smiley:

on a low mk3 oversteer is hard to get.

My standard 16v was crazy for it.

You can also balance the car with rear tyre pressure. high psi gives you oversteer, low psi and the rear end will stay in line.
