I was spoilt with my Megane handling wise, shame t he rest of it was so unreliable.

The basic Golf platform is relatively well built, but needs work to move it into the good for handling IMO, if you want a superb chassis you will need to look at other vehicles. I am nearly satisfied with
TT lower arms
WALK
Bilstien PSS10
Neuspeed ARB's
I have just had fitted the THS bottom engine mount which at present I hate !
I will stick with stage 2 upgrade the brakes and leave it at that spec
Bad-vw-boy:
I have kw dampers and springs on my bora been on there for five plus years and still going strong
ROH ECHT:
Well, so far my suspension upgrades have been relatively cheap. I have H&R super sport springs and 24mm rear sway bar.
I still am running the oem dampers and just about due for the FK dampers I've been looking at. Handling quality has been
more than I would have ever dreamed for though. I take quite a few curves exceeding 90 mph that are marked 35 mph and the car
just gets through them with such rewarding feedback and confidence. Lowering the gti, whether you go springs or "lifetime warranty'
coils and adding a rear sway bar really is what you need to handle just about anything the road can throw at you IMO.
RussZS:
Which Rear ARB do you have please? That's my next purchase!
the bruce:
I'd never be happy with springs + rear bar so it seems to be a question of taste and what to know. :wink:
