getting more oversteer out of my vr6
« on: 26 April 2008, 10:34 »
is there anyway to dial in more lift-off oversteer into my vr6 's hadling , its got a set of supersport coilovers on it which in my opinion are rubbish ! although they make the car adjusable under braking , its still a bit neutral going into a corner . ive got toyo t1 tyres which help.

Would a decent set of coilovers and uprated anti roll bars help or am i gonna have to get adjstable top mounts for added camber ?

thanks.

dont you want the handling to be neutral? if you want to get the back end out your driving the wrong car!

Whats the point of upgrading all the suspension components if you want it to handle worse  :undecided:

how is having a car thats adjusable on the limit wrong ? all the best fwd cars overteer, it makes it involving .

My mk3 seems to be pretty neutral with a tad of push on understter mid corner , id like it to be a little more active if you understand where im comming from  Not dangerous in the slightest , if you watch touring cars etc they turn in and the back end is sliding but under control . its how i like my cars to handle .

Lift off oversteer is much more unstable than power oversteer, and besides which is much slower than just taking the corner properley in the first place  :rolleyes:

Sounds mental - someone who *wants* oversteer on a FWD car! Whatever floats your boat I suppose.

...just aslong as you don't live in Glasgow or Manchester - I'm safe.
