Didn't use ZX arms in the rear beam did you?That's what I have and there's no toe-in on the back, makes the car rather lively... ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Why is your front castor angle so low?Are your top mounts the right way around? ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Camber thrust on mine probably doesn't help though, nor the high car, soft springs and lots of travel changing the toe all the time... ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Can the top mounts be fitted the wrong way without it standing out in your face as been wrong?It's the rear what I'm worried about at the moment, and seen as it's going to be highboost soon I've gotta get it right. Has anybody got any suggestions? Should I fit anew front subframe to get the castor equal? I havnt a clue why the back end has 0 toe. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

How can I tell the difference between the zX beam and the gti6 one eg, are there any njmbers anywhere? Is it the trailing arms that are different? Could it only be the trailing Arms or the stub axles? ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

It feels good for very tight bends up to 60 but it's too Lary after that. I don't think I could get the benefits of the high boost with it like this, the back end digs in and grips way too much and this Makes it feel like over steer in a way, it just reacts far too fast ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

The round mounting bit should be further to the back of the strut hole, rather than towards the front. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Yeah, that's about right for a PAS model.Right, top mounts go this way around and give just over 2' of castor for a non-PAS model:  And this way around for 3.5 degrees of castor on PAS models:  ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Yes your right lol that is a pic, I didn't see it on the shitty phone earlier. So the Tip mounts are the right way, I kinda wanted them too be wrOng so It would be sussed then but nope. It wasn't like this Before I did the work and it handled better before with a fuxked beam and beam mounts. I'm getting f*cked off with it now, I do everything by the book, I havnt spared nothing and it's not right, and I havnt a clue why as can't really go wrong with the front suspension. I'm f*cked off to the point where I wanna sell up now. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

Ride height looks pretty level, it seemed slightly lower at the back at first, well the arch gap anyway, but I had a full tank of fuel and it's empty nowBut now it looks level Sorry for been thick but why do you mean mate? ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |
