Cordoba Handling

[Pimped up vario]

Hi everybody,

I,ve got a 96 -99 Cordoba Vario 90bhp tdi with powerflex bushes alround, goodyear eagle F1 dsg3's and spax VSX suspension kit. The chamber and toe in/out haven't been set from the installation of the kit and the kit has the correct dampers but petrol springs currently, not my fault, but I wouldn't have thought that would have made that much of a problem. Having said all that the problem is that it is still pushing the nose very easily round roundabouts in the wet. There's hardly any G force built up at all and then The steering wheel tucks in a bit more, sort of goes light and then the front end slides on. Has any one else come across this.

Thanks, Sam

You need to get the alignment sorted out asap.

That will cure your problems

Alignment and camber will sort this as m0rk says

I don't know whether to get the correct matched springs from spax or go straight to the point and get eibach prokit springs either way it'll be about 3-4 weeks before it's all set up. Will let you know how it goes.

Thamks, Sam.

in 3-4 weeks you won't have any tyres left... assuming you've not stuck it into a kerb, or passing car.

Might be worth getting it done sooner

if it is way out ,you can "help" by doing it by eye.I've improved my own in the past,but as above,get it done properly ASAP,wearing the contents of your car as jewellery as you look up at the stars from a ditch is not the best way to spend a winters evening.It costs around 20-30 quid.

I'll have to bite the bullet and get springs ordered this thursday hope they won't take to long to arrive. What you reckon, Spax springs or eibach prokit springs. And where is the best place to list all the work/mods and furture plans for your vehicle as well as pictures?

Thanks, Sam.
