mk4 gti handling question

[golfyste]

Yeah the thicker the diameter the less roll and more trackcarish it becomes
You wouldn't new 28mm on the rear but you want more than 22 on te front as that is the same as standard.

That good to know. Ill get thickest possible as really wanna sort this roll out

Ok I am being dead serious.

You have already ruined the handling off your car by lowering it.

Nothing you have suggested will rectify the problem.

You either need to install some h2 sport spindles, or return your car to standard suspension height.

Ooooo the noob is dead serious 

[Sirocco20348]

looking at how low your car is, your handling would be subpar aswell

[golfyste]

You mean my sig?? you see Cars do go quite low when you have 5 people in 2 surfboards, a 20kg tent and a weeks worth of camping stuff

handling increased with lowering the center of gravity, add to the vehicle uprated and thicker ARB's means less bend on the ARB resulting in straighter wheels on a corner.

these kits would not be designed and placed on all sports cars if they were useless 

[Sirocco20348]

Its been documented a million times over the net that the mk4 golf is already at its limits at the stock suspension height.  The control arms are already parallel with the ground.  When you lower the car, you bring on unwanted positive camber, so when you go around corners at full speed it feels worse than it did with the stock setup.

It might feel 'stiff' and 'tight' at low speeds when your cruising through McDonald's drive through, but at the track it is useless.

OMG haha such a noob comment, you have a lot to learn my friend.

These kits are more often designed for looks rather than actually solving the problem of making the car handle better. 

Its well known that the Shine suspension kit is the best handling setup for the golf iv.

Standard height at the front, rear is dropped by an inch.

funny how i drive around a round about each day 3rd exit, before i lowered my car anything over 35mph and the car understeered and wasnt able to get around it. after lowering i can take it between 45-50...
