Handling/Cornering Question - Track driving the LEON

[jimbo_h]

right I've now had the front ARB on for about 5-6 days so thought I'd report back.

The general consensus with FARBs for road driving is that it induces too much understeer, so far I've not experianced any of it. The front one is two way adjustable and I've got it set to the medium setting, the rear one is also on medium.

The initial turn in bite that was there with just the RARB has very slightly gone however this has been replaced with great balance and a brilliant flat stance all the way through the bends. This means more speed though the corners without feeling like its about to let go.

I really like how the car feels now and I'm glad I did the RARB and then the FARB as I now know what a difference it makes, I'd strongly recomend it to anyone who wants to dial the rolly poley feel without sacrificing ride quality.

What its like on track????.....well I'll find out in two weeks

What tyres have you got on the car. I'm running weitec and I wouldn't dare take a roundabout or a corner at over 20mph as the car was so unstable. I changed my tyres to F1 assymetrics and the car goes like sh!t round corners now. So many people overlook tyre choice and tyres as important as brakes!!

totally agree with you, I'm running Falken at the moment which get mixed reviews. At best they're a mediocre, middle of the range tyre. Got some Mich' PS3s to go on next (gonna wear the Falken out first) also getting some sticky kumho C03s at the end of the wk!!

I've always had Toyo Proxie T1-R and wouldn't have anything less than that.
