Handling issues. HELP!!

[Martin M]

Hey,

I took my car on the track yesterday and discovered it has some serious handling problems. The back end is twitchy and has nearly no grip, there's loads of body roll and the front feels like it wants to let go.

It's currently running Spax springs and shocks and front and rear OMP strut braces.

Anyone have any ideas on what can make it handle better? I'm thinking anti-roll bars but what ones are the best for the Mk2 Ibiza?

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks.

1) tyre pressures - check them at cold
2) check the dampers are working (jump up & down in the boot) remove & inspect to make sure they're no leaking oil too.

same for the front, but when was the last time you had the camber checked & set?

fitting ARB's to an already unstable back end won't help

Tyres pressures were spot on when i checked them. I will go check the dampers now. I'm taking it in next week to get the camber sorted and it 4 wheel aligned, i'm hoping this will help!

Thanks for your help!

if you have dodgey camber, it will make the front end push very wide

Sounds like it's the camber then.
Thanks mOrk.

Increase the rear track?

The problem i have is that the wheels scrub on the arch liners!
