Best suspension mods?

RussZS:
Coming from a Megane R26, I found the Golf on its test drive to have a fair bit of understeer, body roll and less overall grip than my Megane has.

I'm looking to address this as much as possible before going after big power, so what's the best stuff to go for?

Ideally within a £1000 budget.

I was thinking:

- KW V1's
- WALK
- ARB's

Am I along the right lines?  Anything else I should look at instead? 

Russ.

danishmkvgti:
That's on the right track, i and a lot of others have chosen to just replace the rear ARB, which will help a lot in reducing understeer.  :drinking:

RussZS:
Thank you :)

Is there anything else worth changing?  Are the KW's a good choice?  I'm not fussed about going mega low, just a bit lower and decent quality/handling

keano:
Don't forget your brakes Russ. Standard ones are scary with power upgrades!  :driver: :driver:

I had Eibach coilovers on my old ED30, which use the KW V1 dampers. I got through two sets of dampers in less than 2 years. Personally I wouldn't have Eibach's again, so the same would be said of the KW's for me. :smiley:

I swapped to Bilstein PSS10's and they were much better. Cannot say if other Bilsteins would have the same resilience to my driving :laugh: but there you go. :wink:
