Hi Folks, im trying to diagnose a crappy handling problem on my mk2.
It seems to be ‘skipping’ across rough tarmac/concrete targa rally tests rather than complying. I’ve no confidence in the rear of the car pushing on.
At the moment, my setup is as follows:
Single leaf Sport/RS leaf springs, polybushed
Tramp bars, polybushed
No lowering blocks – no isopacks – axle bolted straight to the spring
Bilsten inverted grp1 dampers (piston rod bolted to the axle as opposed to the normal billies) seem in good nick, but unsure of rate?
It’s hard to explain but it feels like the sag of the rear springs and the feel of them is just ‘dead’ anyone seen this with OEM leafs?
What’s adding to this theory is the low ride height – this is my car with no lowering blocks, no spare in the boot and about 30L of fuel
Way too low for a standard spring with no lowering blocks surely?
Any suggestions /opinions?
On that note, is there anywhere I can get 85-100lb springs that actually work rather than the 146lb stuff everyone seems to only sell?
Thanks !
