battery in the boot?

[whileoceanasleeps]

just wondering why people do this, is it just looks or is there a handling benefit?

the reason I ask is because I'm building a mk2 rocco and apparently the back can get quite skippy on these.

Think it's all for looks - tidy's up the engine bay and means that people can hide all the wiring down the chassis legs.


Do Eibach make a rear ARB for the Rocco? I fitted one to my Golf and it helps the handling overall!

I doubt the weight of a battery in the boot would improve handling that much. It tends to be for cleaner and tidier bays.

thought it may be just for looks wont be doing that then!

I'm not sure if eibach make one, it does have a rear arb already tho. did you fit yours as an upgrade or an addition?

best thing to do in that case is fill the spare wheel well with sandbags
