I have the following mods:
KW V2 coilovers, damping set to standard, lowered till wheel not quite in arch
25mm front 28mm rear neuspeed arbs
S3 front strut brace, rear upper strut brace
19" x 8" ET45 OZ Superleggeras with 235/35/19 Goodyear F1 Rubber
10mm hubcentric spacers front, 15mm hubcentric spacers rear.
The problem is when going round tight-ish corners, small roundabouts & some lower speed country lanes the rear end feels very insecure, like it wants to lift and step out. Now I am not doing silly speeds, but with a factory set-up LCR I felt more assured and as the car rolled more the grip seemed to come with it, at similar speeds.
Can the car be too stiff? I have seen Clio 172s on 3 wheels braking and going round corners on the track - but not Leons, with a longer wheelbase?
What can I do to make the back end feel more planted?
Ideally I want the front to push wide before the back comes out, but the front just grips and grips and grips...with the back left feeling twitchy.
Any advice?
Cheers,
John
